Battle at the Boat

The Battle at the Boat is the longest running professional boxing series at any tribal casino in the United States, beginning in 1997 and continuing to present boxing fights. In its 20+ years, The Battle at the Boat has hosted over 100 fights, including five world title bouts. Fights have been broadcast on SHOWTIME, HBO, ESPN, ESPN2, FOX Sports Net, TV Azteca, and Telemundo.

In 1997, the Emerald Queen Casino and Brian Halquist Productions started the Northwest boxing series, The Battle at the Boat, in Tacoma, Washington. The boxing series was given its name because it began in the original Emerald Queen Casino, which was housed in a paddlewheel riverboat at the time. It has since moved to the I-5 entertainment venue location of the Emerald Queen Casino.
