Pressbox (Press Release) -
Celeb MMA today announces its first ever fight night taking place at the OVO Arena Wembley on Friday 24th June 2022.
14 celebrities will be undertaking a 12 week training programme putting both their physical and mental strength to the test as they learn a variety of fighting techniques and skills from combat sports concluding in a face off against each other in the octagon.
The popularity of mixed martial arts has increased not only with viewers but has proved to be more than just a self-defense sport with many people taking it up for the positive effect it has on their mental health and as an alternative to traditional gym training.
During the intense training camp, contestants will meet a variety of mental health experts and document the journey on a week by week basis. CRE8 Gym, Hoddeston will be the ultimate training hub where the two teams will be prepared by professional MMA trainers.
“As events have made a comeback, we want to put on a show that represents the journey we’ve all been on over the past two years. A collaboration of household names fighting each other, music performances in front of a live audience - everything we couldn’t do” says director Brett Lucas.
1 in 4 people suffer from mental health issues, Celeb MMA will be supporting a charity throughout the process - contestants include; football freestyler Andrew Henderson, TOWIEs James Lock, reality and media favorites, Carl Woods, Aisleyne Horgan Wallace, Theo Campbell, Robbie McMahon, AJ Bunker, Callum Alexandre Izzard, Likkleman, Choon Tan, Rise of the Footsoldiers star Josh Myers, Podcaster James English, Storage Hunters Sammy Bartlett, and more.
The event will take place at the OVO Arena Wembley on Friday 24th June 2022.
Tickets will be released at the end of April.
