The fight features 10 world titles and international fighters from across the globe representing 12 countries.

Commenting on the introduction of fashion to the week’s sporting and cultural lineup CCGI Founder and President of CCGI and RISARC Foundation Richard Stephenson commented, “We are excited to be able to showcase some of the world’s greatest fashion as part of the week’s events.
