Hi there guys and girls

My name is michael and Im from Switzerland. I'm very interested in Martial Arts and Boxing. I'm going to stay in Moscow around the middle of July.

my question now, Are there any Boxing Fights in Moscow I can go and watch there?

I was searching through google but no results.

Thank you for your replies.

Google has 677 results for Бокс Москва (Claims over 2 millions but that's too much testosterone).
Boxing and free fighting are both popular in Russia. You can also find karate and tae kwon do clubs. Judo also has some popularity, with black belt (1st dan) V. V. Putin as the most famous amateur of the sport - he released a DVD in collaboration with his judo master.

For boxing, you'll find lots of ads in the streets advertising fights. Some of these posters advertise "fight without rules". I don't know what it means in Moscow. But I know that in remote parts of Russia, not so long ago at least, there were lots of not so legal fights, with not so many rules.
