Celebrity Fight Nights, Kenya’s premier celebrity boxing experience, returns for its second edition on Sunday, June 28th 2026 at The Alchemist, Westlands, promising an exciting night of competition, entertainment and culture.
Following a successful debut event in 2025, Celebrity Fight Nights brings together some of Kenya’s most recognizable personalities from entertainment, sports, fitness, business and popular culture for a series of exhibition boxing matchups in front of a live audience.
More than just a boxing event, Celebrity Fight Nights has become a platform where public figures step outside their comfort zones, commit to months of training and showcase their discipline, resilience and competitive spirit in the ring.
This year’s fight card features a diverse lineup of celebrity matchups, including content creators, fitness personalities, entrepreneurs and entertainers, all competing for pride and bragging rights in front of fans and peers.
The fight card includes:
- Barak Jacuzzi (Rapper & Entertainer) 🥊 vs Benzema (Gengetone Artist)
- Big Yasa (Rapper) 🥊 vs Zeman (Afro-Pop Artist)
- Brahim Ouma (Actor) 🥊 vs Mack Lean (Oontz DJ & Music Producer)
- Carlos Derry (Athlete & Fitness Influencer) 🥊 vs Brian Arani (Fine Leather & Luxury Goods Maker)
In addition to the fights, attendees can expect live entertainment, food and beverage experiences, fan engagement activities and appearances from some of the biggest names in Kenya’s entertainment and sports scenes.
“Celebrity Fight Nights is about seeing familiar faces in an unfamiliar environment. These are people known for their success in entertainment, business, fitness and culture – but in the ring, everyone starts equal. What makes this event special is celebrities having the commitment, discipline and courage it takes to step in front of a crowd and test themselves. That’s what audiences connect with,” says Stephanie Gogo, Chief of Staff at HustleSasa.
“The response to the first edition showed there is a real appetite for experiences that bring different communities together and we’re excited to deliver an even bigger event this year,” says Barak Jacuzzi, the event’s Co-Producer and Fighter.
Fans will also have the opportunity to participate in the action through Celebrity Fight Nights’ official prediction experience, powered by Zabili, where supporters can predict fight outcomes and stand a chance to win big throughout the event.
While he is somewhat of a pioneer of the celebrity tiff, Jacuzzi is not hellbent on taking all the credit. “The highest level of flattery is imitation. I am impressed that since Fight Nights took off, other people have started their own leagues. The bigger picture is many people get to partake in the ripple opportunities that arise from this. “
The Future
Jacuzzi says he is focused on short-term goals for now. He says he has his eyes set on female celebrity fights next, as well as including other male celebrities who want to get in the ring as well. “That would mean moving from doing one fight a year to perhaps two or three. As well, we also take it regional and international and just expand beyond what we’ve been able to achieve so far,” he adds.
He hints at a fight between media personality Azeezah and Gengetone artist Dyana Cods, while remaining tightlipped on empirical particulars regarding the prospective face-off.
Celebrity Fight Nights Edition 2 will take place at The Alchemist on June 28th 2026, from 4PM til late. For tickets, updates and fight announcements, follow Celebrity Fight Nights across social media platforms.
