Welcome to the 2025 Pat Johnson Masters Boxing Championships sponsored by Title Boxing. This has been the second largest masters tournament in the world and looks to get bigger in 2025. With that said we are opening up registration early to make sure you have enough time to plan out and not miss this great event. Last year was a classic with this year only getting better. The Championship belts will be provided by Title Boxing and will be new and never seen before. We will also continue the Champion of Champions belt and defense of the belt (more info coming soon). It all goes down at the Showboat hotel right on the boardwalk in Atlantic City.

This event is for amateurs, ages 35 and older who have never competed in a professional combat sport. All experiences are welcome and will be matched up accordingly. Remember, you get matched up by AGE, WEIGHT and EXPERIENCE. This is a 2 day tournament so the maximum times you can box is 2 times, once per day.

We’ve had 4 brackets change in 2 days so just be aware that until Thursday or Friday these are unofficial brackets and bout sheets.

SCHEDULE: FRIDAY: MEET AND GREET (optional but recommended) During the meet and greet we will break down the tournament schedule, what to expect and if you need a coach to corner we can get that process started. Bring your yellow book so we can sign you in and speed up the weigh in process. This is the time to ask questions, any and all questions regarding the tournament.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 4TH 2025 – Weigh ins are at 7am / bouts will start at 11am. Public can begin to enter at 10am. Only boxers and coaches will be allowed in prior to 10am.

What to do and not do. Prior to weighing in and seeing the Doctor for pre-bout physical, DO NOT DRINK COFFEE, NOR ANY ENERGY DRINKS as they will spike up your blood pressure and can prevent you from competing. We’ve had this happen in the past so please be smart. Once you have weighed in and seen the Doctor you are free to grab something to eat or rest but be aware of your bout number and when to be back. We can not tell you a time to be back as we can not predict how long each bout is going to take.
