Twelve industry professionals will step into the ring at London’s Hilton Park Lane, with the black-tie event combining competition, fundraising and a live broadcast to support Oliver’s Wish Foundation.
SBC will stream its Charity Boxing Championship live tomorrow (27 March) as professionals from across the gaming industry take part in a white-collar fight night aimed at raising funds for charitable causes.
The event, hosted at the London Hilton Park Lane, will bring together 12 fighters representing a range of companies, each stepping into the ring after months of preparation.
While the competition offers personal and corporate bragging rights, the evening is centred on supporting the Oliver’s Wish Foundation, which funds children’s charities focused on research and support for families affected by loss.
For those unable to attend in person, the full fight card will be available via a dedicated livestream powered by Gr8Tech, with the first ring walk scheduled for 9pm GMT.
More than 500 guests are expected to attend the black-tie event, which will include a champagne reception, three-course dinner, charity auction and after-party. Proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Oliver’s Wish Foundation.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, said: “SBC’s Charity Boxing Championship has become a special part of the gaming industry’s calendar. Not only is it a chance for the representatives from various companies to gain bragging rights, but we’re able to raise money for the Oliver’s Wish Foundation and the vital work they do.
“The level of commitment we’ve seen from this year’s fighters has been exceptional. Credit to each of them for stepping into the ring. Their willingness to push beyond their comfort zone, in support of a meaningful cause, makes this event so powerful.”
The fight card features a mix of senior executives and industry professionals:
- Kai Hill (Dennis & Dyer) vs Majid Rodriguez (Product Manager, Super)
- Ahmed Baker (Chief Commercial Officer, Incentive Games) vs Rory Kimber (Commercial Director, Lucky Streak)
- Jessica Lee-Green (Partnership Team Manager, Games Global) vs Ferial Abarghooie (Director Of Account Management, G Games)
- Tamas Kusztos (Co-Founder, SharedLuck) vs Sapar Karyagdyyev (Founder, GamingTec)
- Ben Cleminson (CEO, Square in the Air) vs Rob Fell (CEO, RiskCherry)
- Nikki Timmins (Head of Account Management, Blue Sakura Solutions) vs Lex Scott (VP Gaming, ITV)
The evening will begin with a drinks reception and seated dinner, before the opening three bouts. A charity auction will follow, with the remaining fights taking place afterwards, before the event concludes with an after-party.
