Q: What is All City Fight Night: Worlds Collide and when is it at APEX Everett?
A: All City Fight Night: Worlds Collide is an amateur kickboxing card on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at Kings Hall inside APEX Everett (1611 Everett Avenue, third floor). Doors are at 5 PM and the event runs until 11 PM. VIP tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster; general admission is set to drop later. The card features fighters from across the Pacific Northwest and is open to all ages with the venue’s standard event policies.
Verdict: GO. Three reasons, named: (1) amateur kickboxing on this scale is genuinely scarce in the I-5 corridor north of Seattle, and the matchups are billed as fighters traveling in from across the Pacific Northwest “and beyond,” (2) Kings Hall is the right room for a fight night — it is the largest room at APEX Everett, with sight lines built for stage-forward shows and capacity that sits in the meaningful middle between a club and an arena, and (3) the format is six hours of action from doors to last bell, which is the kind of value that does not happen at a music show in this city.
The Friday-and-Saturday-night culture in downtown Everett right now is mostly tribute bands and touring rock acts at the Historic Everett Theatre and Tony V’s Garage. May 16 breaks that pattern. If you have ever wanted to watch live combat sports without driving to Tacoma or down to Tukwila, this is the date you put on the calendar.
What’s Actually on the Card
The official All City Fight Night listing through APEX Everett describes “Worlds Collide” as an evening of amateur kickboxing with fighters drawn from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The promoter pitches every bout as action-packed and skill-forward — language that the APEX events page reproduces verbatim from the All City Fight Night camp.
A few specifics worth holding onto. Doors open at 5 PM. The event is scheduled to run six hours, ending at 11 PM. The venue is Kings Hall, which is the third-floor performance space inside APEX Everett at 1611 Everett Avenue. VIP tickets are already on sale through Ticketmaster — the event listing carries Ticketmaster’s “GA tickets drop soon” call-out at the time of publication, which means general admission has not yet been released to the public. Watch the Ticketmaster page if you want a non-VIP seat.
The promoter — All City Fight Night, based in Everett — runs amateur kickboxing cards on a recurring basis under the same brand. Their .com lists the May 16 Kings Hall date among their upcoming events and routes ticketing directly to the same Ticketmaster URL APEX uses on its venue page. Two independent sources, same date, same venue, same ticket URL: the show is real.
Why Kings Hall Is the Right Room for This
Kings Hall is the largest performance room inside APEX Everett, a multi-floor downtown entertainment complex that the operators have built out specifically around live programming. It sits on the third floor of the building. Four other rooms operate inside APEX — El Sid, the Box Office Bar, Penny Lane, and the rooftop — but Kings Hall is where the touring acts land. The Crystal Method and Rabbit in the Moon are playing the same room on June 13. Antwane Tyler and Fretland played it on May 2.
A kickboxing card needs a room with a center-stage focal point and clear sight lines from every level. Kings Hall delivers that. The capacity sits in the right zone for a regional amateur card — large enough to feel like a real event, small enough that no seat in the building is bad. That matters for combat sports because fight nights die in cavernous arenas where the crowd cannot see the canvas.
The age policy for a typical Kings Hall touring show is 18-plus or 21-plus depending on the act. The All City Fight Night listing on the APEX events page does not explicitly call out an age restriction in the visible event metadata, so confirm at the door or via the Ticketmaster purchase flow before you bring anyone under 21.
What “Amateur Kickboxing” Actually Means
If you have not been to a live fight card before, here is the short version. Amateur kickboxing in the United States operates under sanctioning bodies that enforce weight classes, headgear and shin-pad requirements, three-round bout formats, and strict referee oversight. The fighters are not professionals — they do not get paid purses — but the talent at this level can be extraordinary. Many of the fighters on a card like this one are training out of legitimate gyms in the region and chasing either pro debuts or amateur national titles.
Pacific Northwest amateur kickboxing has a deeper bench than most casual fans realize. Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland, and the smaller Snohomish County gyms feed cards like this one. The “and beyond” language in the promoter’s pitch suggests fighters traveling in from outside the immediate region as well — possibly British Columbia, Oregon, or Northern California, depending on the matchmaking.
Six hours of fight cards typically means somewhere in the range of 10 to 14 bouts, with breaks between fights. Plan accordingly. Eat before you arrive. The Box Office Bar and El Sid downstairs in the APEX complex are options for between-fight food and drink without leaving the building.
How to Get In and Where to Park
APEX Everett sits at 1611 Everett Avenue in downtown Everett, two blocks east of Wetmore and a block north of Pacific. Kings Hall is the third-floor space; you’ll see signage in the lobby. The building has its own elevator access for upper floors.
Parking in downtown Everett on a Saturday night is real but not impossible. The Everpark Garage at 2802 Wetmore Avenue runs $1 per hour and is a five-minute walk to APEX. Street parking on Hewitt, Wetmore, and Colby is free after 6 PM. The lots on the north side of Everett Avenue closer to APEX itself fill up first.
VIP ticket holders should check their Ticketmaster confirmation for any included perks — fight cards in this format sometimes include early entry, reserved seating, or meet-and-greet access depending on the package. The general admission tickets, when they release, will be the standing-or-first-come seating in the rest of the room.
What This Says About APEX’s Programming
The question every venue operator in the city was quietly asking when APEX Everett opened was whether downtown could support another mid-size live entertainment room. The booking pattern through spring 2026 is the answer. Kings Hall is booking rock, electronic, country, comedy, and now combat sports — a programming spread that suggests the operators are betting on the room’s flexibility rather than a single genre.
A May 16 fight card slotted between a country show on May 2 and an electronic-music night on June 13 is exactly the kind of programming a healthy mid-size venue does. Tony V’s Garage cannot host a kickboxing card. Historic Everett Theatre will not. The Funko Field grandstand is a baseball park, not a fight venue. Kings Hall is the only Everett room equipped to put on this kind of show, and they’re using it.
The downtown cultural calendar is denser in May 2026 than in any month since pre-2020. Sorticulture is three weeks out. Schack Art Center’s Contemporary Northwest Artists exhibit opens May 28. The Historic Everett Theatre has Richard Marx on May 8, Corduroy on May 9, Canned Heat and Big Brother and the Holding Company on May 29. Tony V’s has a full slate. Inside that calendar, the All City Fight Night date is the one event that brings a different audience downtown — combat-sports fans who do not necessarily show up for a Pearl Jam tribute or a garden festival. That is good for the city.
The Bottom Line
May 16, 5 PM doors, 11 PM finish, Kings Hall at APEX Everett, 1611 Everett Avenue, third floor. VIP tickets through Ticketmaster now; GA when it drops. Six hours of amateur kickboxing on the best mid-size stage in downtown Everett. If the matchups even come close to the promoter’s pitch, this is the most interesting Saturday night the city has hosted in months.
Wear something you can move in. The room is upstairs.
