Within the US Military, boxing is probably the biggest spectator sport in Korea. Eighth US
Army, Morale and Recreation (MWR) offers four invitational boxing tournaments, area
championships and the Eighth Army boxing championships each year. These events are held at
military installations in the 2nd Infantry Division area located between Seoul and the DMZ
separating the two Korea's.
There has always been a packed house, standing room only
for the EUSA Boxing Championships held in early
December each year. Hanson Field House at Camp Casey is filled with enthusiastic sports fans
both evenings for this two day event.
For the last five years, Anheuser-Busch
has signed on as the corporate sponsor for each of these events, providing both cash
sponsorship and boxing related prize-giveaways.
Budweiser has been a major Eighth Army MWR corporate sponsor for
several years. The relationship between the two has been a win-win opportunity for both
organizations. Boxing
