“Two years ago,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson esan, “we dedicated our card to Breast Cancer Awareness. It was an all-female card: borrokalari, referees, and cut-women. Even two of our ring-card girls brought their boyfriends to be ring-card boys. It was the first time in Brazil’s long MMA history that featured an all-female event. The first year I had joined SFT less than three months earlier and we weren’t able to get enough women fighters, so the main card was all-females.
“Earlier this year, prior to the pandemic, we were going to promote a card for International Women’s Day. We’re promotingSFT: 22 for Breast Cancer Awareness with a six-fight all-female card.”
The main event will pit undefeatedAndreia “Thai” Serafim (4-0-0, SFT: 2-0-0) aurkaPamela Mara Assis (4-2-1, SFT: 2-0-0) for the vacant SFT Strawweight Championship.

Along with promoting a healthy lifestyle that incorporates disciplined boxing exercise, the Feet First program also encourages group discussion topics around perseverance, accountability, and respect. “It feels good to be working with a common goal of helping others through the art of boxing, and we are proud to team up with a first-class organization like the WBC Cares,” said co-founder Sean Sharkey. “Our goal is to incorporate this curriculum in schools all over the world and we believe our partnership with the WBC Cares will better broaden our mission for the betterment of students across the globe.” The World Boxing Council has crowned an array of some of the most famous world champions, several of whom continue to be household names to this day.
