New promotion MUKA Boxing has moved its first Dubai fight night from Cuban Boxing Club to Nikki Beach Dubai, now on Friday 6 November, turning it into a beachfront party and boxing event.
MUKA Boxing is going to the beach. The new promotion's first Dubai fight night has moved from Cuban Boxing Club in Al Quoz to Nikki Beach Dubai, and will now take place on Friday 6 November 2026, a day earlier than first announced.
MUKA says the move turns the show into a beachfront party and boxing event, bringing together boxing, luxury and entertainment in an atmosphere "unlike anything we originally planned".
“What started as an event at a traditional boxing venue has now evolved into something on a completely different level. This is a massive step forward for MUKA and a huge opportunity for every fighter on this card.”

MUKA Boxing Promotions bills itself as the place "where boxing meets entertainment". Its first card brings professional boxers and content creators into the same ring, with several bouts built around national rivalries.
Bouts announced so far
- Rahim Pardesi (Pakistan) vs Manish Sharma (India)
- Abubakr Shak vs Ahmed Adnan, Abubakr's influencer boxing debut
- Abdullah Chandio (Pakistan) vs Gypsy General (Ireland), cruiserweight
- Stefan vs Ahmed, Muay Thai vs kickboxing under boxing rules
- Febryan vs Rafael
- Mike Edwards vs Stanley O Maskara
- Anisha vs Anija
Pakistan against India is the theme drawing the most attention, and it now runs through two bouts. Rahim Pardesi confirmed that his original opponent had been changed, and MUKA then announced India's Manish Sharma as signed for the show. Pakistani actor and creator Abubakr Shak has also signed with MUKA for his influencer boxing debut against Ahmed Adnan, with the trash talk already under way online.
Abdullah Chandio and Gypsy General have agreed to settle a rivalry that has been building online, in a Pakistan versus Ireland cruiserweight contest. Stefan vs Ahmed brings two other striking styles into a boxing ring: Ahmed comes from kickboxing and Stefan from Muay Thai. MUKA has billed Febryan vs Rafael as "more than a fight", and Mike Edwards vs Stanley O Maskara has been promoted as a comeback fight.
