Among the scheduled fights will be about a dozen police vs. firefighter showdowns. Fighters have been training for months to put on a good show.

Muller Inc. is supporting the event, while the Harrowgate Boxing Club is providing technical assistance. Proceeds from the event will benefit the charities of the Philadelphia Police and Fire Football Club, including Police Survivor’s Fund, Fire Widow’s Fund, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Police Athletic League, youth sports organizations, autism awareness, scholarship funds and more. ••
