The World Blockchain Summit in Dubai hosted an exhibition boxing match between top cryptocurrency traders and influencers for the WBC Crypto Belt. The fights were supported by a charity event, including an auction of memorabilia, including digital currency assets and non-fungible tokens.

What started as a conversation for a friendly match with a small audience, saw the involvement of two-time boxing world champion Amir Khan and the Super Boxing League (SBL) as the organizer, in association with ByBit crypto exchange and World Boxing Council.

According to a conversation with Cointelegraph at the WBS press conference, crypto traders turned combatants trained for months day after day – no parties, no drinks, just hard work. In addition, the boxing match attracted many crypto enthusiasts across the world who participated in the charity event, which will be donated to the Amir Khan Foundation.

Khan also shared his enthusiasm for SBL’s involvement in the crypto community:

By partnering with crypto, we will further increase our efforts to reach like-minded groups who believe in innovation and transformation.
