Ultimate Gym "Fight Night" was conceived to offer anyone interested in fighting the opportunity to take the next step from gym sparring toward live competition. While a boxer or kickboxers' record is not furthered or affected, the fighter gains the experience of‚ performing‚ before a live audience and with experienced trainers and a referee available. Further, fighters are coached and encouraged on areas of improvement. In short, the fighter gets to experience "fight like" conditions in a more relaxed environment.

The next Fight Night is coming soon! Anybody interested, start training now!
