Dubai: Corporate hopefuls will swap the boardroom for the boxing ring in White Collar Fight Night 13 at the Habtoor Grand Hotel in Dubai Marina on November 14.
A sell-out crowd of 500 will watch the eight-bout card of 16 male and female fighters, who have been transformed from pencil pushers to pugilists after eight weeks of training.
“The contenders are committing 100 per cent to the challenge of White Collar Fight Night and, by doing so, agree to undergo rigorous physical training and controlled dieting,” said Mark Povey, organiser of White Collar Fight Night on behalf of Transguard Group. “It’s all about transforming white collar business professionals into lean, mean fighting machines.”
In a first for White Collar Fight Night, there will be a mixed martial arts (MMA) exhibition bout and four former competitors will also take part in a tag team boxing match.
All bouts will be conducted under the rules of white collar boxing, which places priority on competitor safety and welfare. Each bout will consist of three two-minute rounds under the supervision of a professional referee. In accordance with white collar’s sporting ethos, there are no losers.
Importantly for the organisers, a third of the fighters’ sponsorship fees are donated to Christel House — a charity providing education to underprivileged children in Bengaluru, India.
