If you missed it last year, White Collar Fight Night was a party.
Last November, local personal trainer Seth Zanutto founded this upscale boxing gala on Austin’s east side, housing the multiple-bout event at Fair Market amongst a crowd that numbered about 600 people, all sporting their best evening attire. Zanutto stashed long cigarettes on high top tables—an aesthetic meant to harken back to the earlier days of boxing, when fighting was a high-class affair.
The event was a hit, so Zanutto doubled down in 2026.
The second version of the emerging boxing promotion promises at least 15 fighters and up to nine matches, including one female bout. In recent weeks, Zanutto has been working through his pre-event plan, holding an invitation-only networking event in North Austin.
Over the next few weeks, his content will begin its final sprint.
On Instagram, he’s released podcast clips featuring his confirmed list of fighters. More short form multi-media content is on the way. For the fighters, training will begin as early as July, with an official 12-16 week camp set for sometime after.
The 9-match boxing event is scheduled for October 17th back at Fair Market.
