Hempstead fight moved to Civic Center

Tonight – Friday, Aug 4. – Anaconda’s own Eric Hempstead will return to the ring at Brawls and Kickstarter Days for what he says is his final fight. 

The fight, originally scheduled to take place at the Butte Depot, has changed venues due to weather and other concerns and it will now take place at the Butte Civic Center at 1340 Harrison Ave. 

NXT GEN Entertainment Owner/Organizer Monty Klistoff said the following in his statement posted to Facebook: “Due to the inclement weather and safety of the spectators, fighters, bands, staff, etc. We have decided to move the event indoors to the Butte Civic Center. Unfortunately, we have to reschedule the limo jump, but everything else is moving forward concert and fights. This will be a more intimate experience for the spectators as well, and we’ve never had bleachers for general admission. Now we have that option! VIP Table layout will be the same.”

The Bareknuckle Boxing portion of Brawls and Kickstarter Days is still slated to begin at 7 p.m.
