Boxing fans are in for a huge treat with the 2025 Brisbane Truck Show teaming up with Australia’s leading fight promoter Ace Boxing to stage its Premier Boxing Series (PBS) at the South Bank Piazza on the Friday and Saturday nights of the southern hemisphere’s largest trucking festival.
Established in 2001 by Angelo Di Carlo, over the past 23 years Ace Boxing has become synonymous with exciting 50/50 match-ups and crowd-pleasing action.
Ace Boxing Group launched PBS in 2024, alongside its weekly panel show, Beyond the Ropes (BTR). In partnership with Channel 7, the deal sees boxing content return to free-to-air TV weekly between March and December.
Boasting a variety of national and regional champions under its banner, each night Premier Boxing expects to feature six professional bouts, with a healthy undercard of elite amateur boxers. The main event for each night will contest Australia’s elite athletes for title bouts.

While the fight card will not be revealed until closer to the event, Premier Boxing CEO Glenn Hosking says Ace Boxing and PBS have promoted several rising talents and household names throughout its time, including current IBF Super-Lightweight World Champion Liam Paro.
Ace Boxing Group and PBS prides itself on guiding many home-grown athletes to top-15 world rankings and World Title opportunities, including Liam Paro, Mark Flanagan, Floyd Masson, Demsey McKean, Taylah Robertson, Jacob Ng and Jalen Tait.
PBS will be staged as part of Truck Week (previously known as Australian Heavy vehicle Industry Week), a week-long festival of all things trucking anchored by the Brisbane Truck Show.’
“Premier Boxing is excited to partner with Truck Week and showcase the very best local professional boxing talent in fan-friendly, evenly-matched fights,” Glenn Hosking says.
