About NJ Boxing News

NJ Boxing News was founded in 2023 by Ryan Songalia, a New Jersey native and long-time boxing reporter.

NJBN seeks to become a hub for all news, features and opinions in the Garden State’s boxing scene, both professional and amateur. While not every pro fighter will become a pound for pound level star like Shakur Stevenson, and not every amateur boxer will become a national champion like Malachi Georges, every fighter has a story to tell. And no one tells a story like a New Jerseyan.

From Atlantic City to Jersey City, and all Jersey towns around and in between, NJ Boxing News has you covered.
