Ticket prices are $15 general admission, $20 reserved and $30 for VIP Ringside (first four rows). Additional fees may apply.

In addition to all the action and excitement that Toughman always delivers, this year two pro-bouts are planned; Friday night, heavyweight Mike Harless, of Cyclone, will make his pro debut versus George Oller, of Ghent. Then on Saturday night cruiserweight Bobby Thomas, Jr., of Oak Hill will face Eric Watkins of Morgantown in a 10 round WBF and WV title fight.
