The Slap Fighting Championship will return to Dubai later this month, promising another dramatic showcase of the fast-growing combat sport.

Set for Friday, 26 July 2025, the event will take place at The Space Events and Sports Venue in Dubai Investment Park, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the first bout scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

The championship will feature 32 fighters from six countries, squaring off in 16 bouts designed to test physical strength, endurance, and mental grit. The promotion describes the event as “a test of will, power, and sheer grit,” underscoring its appeal to fans of no-holds-barred spectacle.

Presented by Eddie Hall—former World’s Strongest Man and a notable figure in the slap fighting scene—the night aims to deliver what organisers call “unfiltered adrenaline” and “knockout drama.” Hall’s involvement has helped raise the profile of slap fighting, which continues to attract both international athletes and a growing audience online.
