Dubai hosted one of the most hard-hitting nights in combat sports this summer, as the Slap Fighting Championship (SFC) stormed into The Space Events and Sports on 26 July 2025. Presented by Eddie Hall, the former World’s Strongest Man and global fitness icon, the event delivered a mix of raw power, precision, and drama to a packed arena — and to thousands more watching online around the world.

The championship drew 32 fighters from six countries — the UK, India, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, and the UAE — for 16 matchups that tested endurance and willpower in front of an electric Dubai crowd. From clean knockouts to tense technical finishes, the action never relented.

The night saw Angelica KO secure a technical knockout, while Australian powerhouse Lachlan Adair avenged a previous loss to Shaun Rafferty with a decisive TKO in their much-anticipated rematch. Rajbir Devi, Marcus Pond, and Brandon Morris also left their mark with commanding victories.
Other notable wins came from Amritpal Singh, Felix Hock Choon Tan, Hayden Sheriff, Sam Clarke, and Gurpreet Singh, each energising the Dubai audience.
