In the Main Event, RookieXBT will fight loomdart, both cult hero crypto traders.

Loomdart, on the other hand, is one of the most experienced, and respected voices in Crypto. The winner will walk away with the first ever WBC Crypto Belt.

In the Co-Main, New Zealand big-hitter Hemi "The Heat" Ahio (17-0-0, 12 KO's) will face Dubai KO king Mohammed Ali (17-2-1, 17 KO's) for the vacant WBC Middle East Heavyweight Title.

More Crypto celebrities fighting include Profit Maximalist podcast host Luke Martin vs. trader Barney the Boi; entrepreneur Raghav "Reggie" Jerath vs. Foz, the co-founder of Gath3r Network; and leading British trader Adam "Cass" Craigmile vs. Ahmed, of the U.S. The undercard also features the debuts of two hot prospects, both with ties to Amir Khan: the UK's ABA Youth Champion Abdul Khan, who is Amir's cousin, and Tal Singh, the England Boxing National Champion, who Amir manages.

Loomdart said, "There's something beautiful about being able to say that getting involved in crypto has led to me fighting some dude I've never met before. I can't wait for these to be regular events and let people get revenge for getting dumped on!"
