About Us:

What started as The Chicago Real Estate Rumble is quickly moving across the country into several cities. It is continuing to expand and giving back to the communities it represents. This charity boxing event with participants from local Real Estate, Lending, and Construction Industries currently holds events in Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto and Coming Soon – Charlotte.

It was founded in 2013 by Ryan Cotter, Greg Pekarsky and Albron Hana out of their mutual enthusiasm for real estate, boxing, and helping those in need.

 

The fighters are volunteers with levels of experience from beginner to moderate. No professional fighters, just the good people of the community willing to give a little hard work & sweat for the greater good. Proceeds will benefit charities such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago.
