One of the year’s most stacked undercards features Adam Azim v Aram Fanyan, Frazer Clarke v Dave Allen, Mikaela Mayer, Florian Marku v Dylan Moran, Mark Heffron v Jack Cullen, and more.
The partnership will see Forged Irish Stout fully integrated into the upcoming fight week and event, with branding on the ring canvas, press and media backdrops, and venue screens; alongside unique in-arena brand activations that will be revealed on fight night. Forged will also be granted unique access to talent to create bespoke content around the event.
