Boxing hits Dubai this weekend as ExpatBloke.com’s White Collar Fight Night reaches its finale at Le Meridien’s Great Ballroom.
A total of 14 expats from across the UAE have been put through their paces on an intense six-week training course to prepare for Friday’s (19:00 start time) event.
Headed up by former two-time world titlist Paul Weir and alongside British boxing coaches and Royal Marine Commandos, the combatants have been given the best guidance available to lace up their gloves for a thrilling show.
Alongside the seven bouts, included in any ticket purchased is a buffet-style dinner, soft drinks and a DJ taking you from the fights’ completion right through until 02:00.
Optional beverage packages are available to purchase from 19:00 – 23:00 on the night, while there will also be a sporting memorabilia auction held during the course of the evening.
As the leading website in the Middle East for expat males, ExpatBloke.com partnered with Le Meridien situated on Airport Road to put on the best White Collar.
Fight Night in Dubai – the only such event to be sanctioned by the UAE Boxing Federation. And organiser Mike Barker insists this is one night you won’t want to miss.
“I’m very impressed with the commitment these 14 blokes have shown over the past six weeks and I know that they will put on a great show for our guests,” Barker said. “If you haven’t already booked your tickets you need to do it now for what’s going to be a fantastic night.”
If that wasn’t enough, then regular readers of Sport360° will noticea familiar name on the bout list. Our very own reporter Alex Rea is taking part in the event as he takes to the boxing ring for the very first time.
The bouts are three, two-minute rounds with more than 600 people expected to be in attendance.
Tickets for the black-tie event, which start from Dh400, can be purchased either through Mike Barker on 0504540419, through www.ticket-line.ae or ExpatBloke.com.
To be right up close to the action, ringside VIP entrance tickets are still available at Dh950 per person as are inner circle tickets at Dh550 per person.
