Three championships and six promotional fights will be on as the Dambe Warriors SuperFight 03 lands in Abuja.
Dambe Warriors League (DWL), the premier sports brand dedicated to promoting Nigeria’s ancient martial art of Dambe, is excited to announce that SuperFight 03 will be held at the Velodrome in Abuja on September 15th, 2024.
This announcement comes on the heels of a formal endorsement from the Ministry of Arts and Culture, which signified a watershed moment for the company.
Excitedly, Anthony Okeleke, co-founder of Dambe Warriors stated:
“Abuja has always been a wonderful host city for Dambe. The Velodrome is an amazing venue that will accommodate SuperFight 03 phenomenally. We anticipate a sell-out crowd of approximately 10,000 spectators and are confident that the event will not only entertain but will also educate millions about this important Nigerian cultural tradition.”
Dambe Warriors Superfight 03: A Tale of A Champion and A Rookie
In the Lightweight championship, Season 02 champion YAR MAGE will face off against rookie NASSARAWA.
Each warrior put on strong showings throughout the regular season, with MAGE finishing with a 4-1 record and NASSARAWA right on his heels with a 3-2 record.
In the Middleweight championship, the formidable SHAABAN will go toe-to-toe with newcomer DOGON MESSI.
In what is arguably a matchup of the greatest athletes in Dambe today, these two warriors will put on a show that will delight the thousands of onlookers and the hundreds of thousands watching at home. As evenly matched as they come, both warriors finished Season 03 with a record of 4-1.
Among the Heavyweight contenders, viral sensation ALI KANIN BELLO (“AKB”) will fight #1 ranked YANSANDA for the title.
Despite a better record during the Season, YANSANDA will go into the fight as a heavy underdog to AKB, who has amassed millions of views on social media showcasing his formidable physique and punishing persona.
New Warriors Audiotion For Season 4 With Eastern Europe In Tow
In addition to these three title fights, Dambe Warriors will host six Promotional Fights.
These fights are some of the most exciting of the evening because each winner earns a spot in Season 04 of the Dambe Warriors League.
Additionally, it is rumored that Eastern European MMA fighters have reached out to league organizers to show the world that their skills are superior and that Nigerians don’t own the sport of Dambe.
Furthermore, SuperFight 03 aims to bring traditional Nigerian art and culture to millions within Nigeria’s borders and across the globe.
Meanwhile, Dambe Warriors League is seizing an amazing opportunity to expand this sport and provide life-changing opportunities to thousands of Nigerians living in cities while increasing attention to a wider domestic and global audience.
In addition to the formal endorsement by the Ministry, the Dambe Warriors League also has a group of incredible community organizations that value and promote Nigerian culture both domestically and internationally.
These sponsors include MTN, Bet9ja, Hero Hunter Power Bikes, Infinite Energy Drinks, Odogwu Malay Drinks, Optimus by Afrinvest, Hypo, Power Oil, Pop Cola, AIICO, and others who have committed to supporting this growing tradition.
