1,400 attendees, 400+ influencers, $200,000 worth of donated tickets; viral knockout surpasses 500 million Instagram views

Dubai, 17 April 2025: At a time when regional tensions had significantly disrupted live events across the city, Canadian professional boxer and social media personality Tristan Hamm helped reignite Dubai’s sporting spirit through his community-driven “Spirit of Dubai” initiative.

Determined to turn the situation around, Hamm launched the Spirit of Dubai initiative, personally mobilising the city’s community through direct outreach and social media engagement. The effort brought together more than 1,400 attendees, including over 400 influencers, entrepreneurs, real estate developers and business leaders, creating an electric atmosphere on fight night.
