Katrineholm Week: Rumble in the Park — boxing gala
Outdoor boxing in Stadsparken — a new Katrineholm Week feature per the programme and municipal press info. Matches from youth to elite level.
Rumble in the Park is the standout sports highlight of Katrineholm Week 2026: an outdoor boxing gala on the main stage in Stadsparken on Friday 7 August. The municipality highlights it as one of the week’s new spectacular additions, and the organisers describe the gala as a memorable evening rooted in Katrineholm’s strong boxing tradition.
The programme runs from young local talents and diploma bouts through preliminary matches to an evening gala where boxers from Katrineholm, Sörmland and Östergötland face national and international opponents — including from Kosovo. According to the Katrineholm Week event page, the audience gets top-level boxing in a unique outdoor setting, with matches ranging from youth level to elite.
Beyond the fights, the organisers promise music, lighting, a ring announcer and national anthems in a festival atmosphere around the ring. The gala is arranged by the East Swedish Boxing Federation and Katrineholm Boxing Club in cooperation with Katrineholm Municipality.
The event is listed in the week programme with a start at 11:00 on Friday 7 August. The venue is the main stage in Stadsparken, which becomes an outdoor arena for the day. Admission and tickets are not mentioned in the organisers’ published information — check the Katrineholm Week site closer to the event if you need details on access.
Friday is one of the busiest days in the park during the festival: the Knalle market also runs from 10:00 on the same date according to the Katrineholm Week programme. If you want to combine market and boxing, expect walking distances within Stadsparken and plan to arrive at the main stage in good time.
