How Celebrity Fight Nights Started in Kenya
Celebrity Fight Nights is an entertainment boxing series created by HustleSasa in partnership with rapper and entertainer Barak Jacuzzi.
The inaugural edition took place in November 2025 at The Alchemist, where Barak Jacuzzi faced content creator Lumu in one of the headline contests.
The series returned for its second edition on June 28, 2026, featuring several entertainers and musicians in exhibition bouts.
The upcoming third edition is expected to build on the previous events while introducing a female celebrity contest.
