KFM Fitness and High Performance Centre plays host to the Daniel Geale Testimonial Night and the 'Real Deal' himself will be watching the 18 bouts on the card.
"It'll be an action-packed night with some high quality fights," Tigers Den Boxing Club owner and card promoter Wayne Clayton said.
"There's seven of my fighters on the card, including my daughter, Danielle, and son, Brodey, and they'll be fighting some quality opposition.
"Danielle's opponent is originally from Ireland and Brodey's is from Victoria. We have fighters from all over the country coming down for the night."
Danielle's bout against South East Boxing's Oliwia Sansom and fellow Tigers Dens member Dakota Bannister share main event honours as the heavyweight takes on Tim Byrne from Portand Boxing Club.
The opportunity to fight in front of Geale is one that certainly isn't lost on promoter Clayton with a personal connection fuelling the fire for several competitors.
"Danielle, Brodey and myself are actually Daniel Geale's cousins and it's their first times fighting in front of him so its a great opportunity for them to show him what they are made of."
Geale will be interviewed, reliving the highlights of his career that's taken him all over the globe.
Doors open at 5pm for a 6pm start with entries being $25 for adults and $10 for under 16s and are available from KFM Fitness.
