The energy of a big fight night is electric. The walkouts, the roar of the crowd, the tension in the air—it’s an experience unlike any other. While nothing beats being there live, you can come incredibly close by creating the ultimate fight night sanctuary right in your own home. Whether you’re a die-hard fan hosting a watch party or a solo viewer who analyzes every move, here’s how to elevate your experience from simply watching to truly immersing yourself in the action.
To catch every detail—the subtle feints, the lightning-fast combinations, the championship expressions—you need a screen that does justice to the spectacle. A standard TV screen shows you the fight; a high-quality projector puts you in the arena. De BenQ TK850 True 4K Projector can turn a blank wall into a massive, crystal-clear pay-per-view experience that makes you feel like you’re sitting cageside. For the analytical fan running live stats and multiple social media feeds, a panoramic display like the SAMSUNG 49″ Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor provides an unparalleled command center for all the fight night data you need.
Atmosphere is everything. To truly capture the fight night feeling, you need to surround yourself with authenticity. It starts with looking the part by wearing official gear like the Venum Authentic Fight Night Men’s Walkout Jersey.
For the ultimate fan, the experience extends beyond the final bell. Owning a piece of memorabilia is about holding a piece of sports history. Imagine the conversations sparked by a Mike Tyson Signed Glove in a Shadow Box or an autographed Floyd Mayweather Jr. Everlast glove. These are more than decorations; they are monuments to greatness. For the modern fan, een UFC Legacy Championship Replica Belt is the ultimate centerpiece for any collection, turning your living room into a hall of fame.
A great watch party is about enjoying the action with friends and family, but the thought of post-fight cleanup can be a knockout blow. This is where modern technology comes to the rescue. A powerful robot vacuum like the NARWAL Freo Z10 Ultra can handle the party mess, so you can focus on the fights, not the floor, and live to host another day.

This guide details the incredible opportunity to book Dan “Het Beest” Severn—a UFC Hall of Famer, former WWE Superstar, and one of the most accomplished combat sports athletes in history—for an appearance and seminar at your facility.
Dan Severn is more than just a fighter; he is a decorated veteran and a seasoned educator with a teaching career spanning nearly four decades. His credentials are unparalleled, making him a significant draw for any gym.
Dan Severn is a true Renaissance man, an MMA pioneer, and an undisputed fan favorite.

He is also an author, lecturer, movie star, television actor, MMA commentator, and renowned teacher of submission grappling.
His extensive background covers a wide array of disciplines, including Folk, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman wrestling. He also holds black belts in Judo, Partner, and Jiu-Jitsu. This diverse expertise allows him to offer comprehensive seminars that cater to students of all levels and backgrounds, from youth wrestlers to adult MMA practitioners.
Hosting a legend of Severn’s caliber not only provides invaluable instruction for your members but also serves as a powerful marketing tool. It can attract new students, generate local media attention, and solidify your facility’s reputation as a premier training destination.
Dan Severn offers a flexible seminar structure that can be tailored to the specific needs of your gym. He is proficient in teaching a wide range of techniques, from fundamental takedowns to advanced submission holds. A typical booking can include one or two distinct seminars, each lasting between 1.5 naar 2 uur.
This allows for a focused curriculum. Bijvoorbeeld, you could host two separate sessions:
•Seminar 1: On the Feet: Focusing on closing distance, takedowns, clinches, throws, and the corresponding defensive maneuvers.
•Seminar 2: On the Ground: Covering techniques from the guard, mount, and cross-body positions, including escapes and submissions.
This dual-seminar approach provides a comprehensive learning experience and offers an excellent value proposition for attendees.
Booking Dan Severn is a straightforward process with a clear pricing structure designed to be mutually beneficial for both him and the host facility.

This fee covers the primary seminar booking. Echter, the financial model is designed to help the host facility recoup its investment and even turn a profit. For a two-seminar day, the host pays the daily rate for the first seminar, and the revenue from the second seminar is split 50/50.

| Seminar Package | Gym Members | Non-Members |
| Seminar 1 Alleen | $75 | $100 |
| Both Seminars | $150 | $175 |
This model incentivizes participation in both sessions while offering a discount to your existing members, ultimately driving revenue for the host gym and potentially leading to new long-term memberships.
One of the most significant advantages of booking Dan Severn is his willingness to go above and beyond to ensure the event’s success. He offers a wide range of promotional and community engagement activities that can be scheduled around the seminar to generate buzz and help offset the costs.
These additional appearances and events can transform a single seminar into a multi-day community event. Here are just some of the activities Dan is willing to participate in:
•Media Engagement: Dan will conduct interviews with local radio stations and promote the event on his social media pages:
Dan Severn (@dan.thebeast.severn) • Instagram photos and videos

MIAMI, FLA. (Augustus 13, 2025)-The world’s greatest boxing promoter the legendaryDon King has announced a new date and location for the WBA Heavyweight World Championship featuring current championKubrat “The Cobra” Pulev to face off against No. 1-ranked WBA contenderMichael “The Bounty” Hunter.
The exciting night of fights will take place onOktober 4at Miami’sJai-Alai Fronton Casino, King has announced, despite the threats of a lawsuit by Epic Sports and Entertainment representatives who King says continue to spread lies that Hunter is unavailable for this fight.
Koning, who in the spring won the $1.1 million purse bid by the WBA to stage the fight originally scheduled for August 23rd, said he still has a binding three-year contract with Hunter that was signed in February of 2024 and then was victorious in two consecutive appeals to the WBA by Epic Sports and Entertainment to prevent the fight from happening.
“The threats of lawsuits continues against the WBA by Epic Sports and Entertainment,” King said in a statement. “It’s all corruption, fraud, bribery, rigged schemes and crooked scams by Epic Sports appealing to the WBA for reconsideration of the WBA purse bid, for Pulev vs Hunter, which DKP won. Nu, Epic Sports is trying to change and to nullify the bout. This clouds the atmosphere with lies and the deception of the truth, fake and false news.”
King continued: “The WBA honorably stood up for their rules and regulations and declared the purse bid valid and legitimate, as held, then Epic Sports and the WBA champion Kubrat Pulev made an appeal to change the meaning of the WBA rules and regulations…The WBA honorably denied the champion Kubrat Pulev and Epic Sports, then Epic Sports rewrote the purse bid contracts just as though they had won the purse bid, and asked the WBA to dishonorably and illegally grant their appeal.”
King said now that the WBA has made its decision to uphold the purse bid decision regarding Kubrat Pulev, dat, upon approval by the WBA, he has announced the October 4th date and Miami location for this fantastic heavyweight championship title bout to take place.
"Echter, John Wirt never stops in trying to prevent the bout, for the No. 1 contender Michael Hunter, not to fight. Now Epic Sports John Wirt and Ivaylo Gotzev are filing a lawsuit for the arbitrations against the WBA’s decisions of justice and fair play against their Epic Sports and Entertainment Company.
"Echter, DKP will not wait for that decision to come about. DKP will stand up and support the WBA’s honor and credibility in their decision for fair play and justice regarding the WBA purse bid situation. The credibility of the WBA is at stake.”
King said the October 4 card will also feature DKP fightersBlair “The Flair” Cobbs, Adrien “The Problem” Broner and former WBC Cruiserweight World ChampionNoel Mikaelian.
Last weekend, DKP issued a cease-and-desist order to SELA and TKO Group Holdings, Inc., after it was reported that there was a fight in the works that would pit Hunter against Jarrell Miller on September 11th during the mega-fight week featuring Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford in Las Vegas.

Riyadh, Saoedi-Arabië (Augustus 13, 2025) - Phase 3: The Quarterfinals of theWBC Boxing Grand Prix delivered thrilling upsets and spectacular knockouts across nearly 9 hours of commercial free boxing on DAZN as the crowd at the Cool Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia saw 32 fighters from 15 different countries in four different weight classes attempted to stamp their ticket to the tournament semifinals.
“We saw a compilation of great talent from all over the world. The boxers that fought tonight will be local heroes when they come back home,” said WBC President and tournament organizerMauricio Sulaiman. “This is something that just keeps getting better. I can’t wait for the Semifinals in October, and then the Grand Finale in December.”
Alle 16 fighters who advanced will compete in October on a date to be determined.
Here is a recap of the night in Riyadh.
Fight of the Night: Middleweights Carlos Sinisterra (Colombia) 13-1 (10 KO) KO Ephrem Bariko (Frankrijk) 12-1 (6 KO)
Bariko dominated the first two rounds and started the third with strong, precise combinations that were hitting the target. Echter, everything turned in an instant as the Colombian standout cornered Bariko and rained down blows that the Frenchman couldn’t withstand.
Sinisterra won by knockout will now face Canada’s Derek Pomerleau in a middleweight Semifinal clash that promises to be one of the best fights of the Grand Prix.
Pomerleau (14-0, 11 KO) defeated Ukrainre’s Dmytro Rybalko with a devastating four punch combo that earned him the TKO win in round two and a spot in the Semis.
Upset of the Night: Featherweights Muhamet Qamili (Italië) 17-0 (7 KO) vs Troy Nash (VS) 5-1 (1 KO)
The upset of the night was made possible by the WBC’s enhanced scoring system, which allows judges to gauge the decisiveness of each fighter’s performance in each round as a tiebreaker in the event of a draw. That was the case during the most anticipated fight of the night, which also delivered perhaps its most unexpected result in a battle between undefeated prospects.
The three judges scored the bout 58-56 in favor of Nash, 58-56 for Qamili and 57-57 respectievelijk. In any other contest, the fight would have been declared a split draw. Echter, the enhanced scoring system revealed that two judges saw it 5-4 en 4-2 in favor of Qamili, who went down to his knees and hugged his team after having his hand raised.

“Troy Nash is a future superstar. It was his fifth fight, and his opponent was very tough in a close fight. He will learn and come out better from it,” Sulaiman said after the fight.
Breakout of the Night: Heavyweight Kevin Ramírez (Argentinië) (11-0-1, 4 KO) UD over Piotr Lacz (Polen) (14-1-0, 10 KO)
Argentina’s Kevin Ramirez, a natural cruiserweight fighting in the heavyweight division for this tournament, prevailed in a close enhanced scoring system decision over Poland’s Piotr Lacz, who outweighed him by 18 pounds after the official weigh-in on Tuesday.
Ramírez, who works as a trash collector to fund his boxing career, swept the judges off their feet with decisive rounds that showcased his effective combinations and an overall superior effectiveness in landing punches throughout the fight.
The Buenos Aires native will now face USA´s Dante Stone in what will be an even more daunting challenge in the semifinals. Stone weighed in at 257.9 pounds for his quarterfinal fight, while Ramírez did so at 204.
OPMERKINGEN:
· USA went 1-3 during the quarterfinals. Stone was the only one who prevailed on the American side by unanimous decision over Morocco’s Youness Baalla.

· The semifinals are set for October with 16 strijders, four in each weight class, left vying for a spot in the championship Finals. The October date is to be announced in the coming weeks. Visit theWBC´s official website for the latest updates.
