Dubai will host the first global combat tournament that uses cryptocurrency tickets to book its tickets, under the name “Social Knockout”, organized by the TK Martial Arts Club, and in cooperation with the Dubai Sports Council, which is the first appearance in the martial arts field for Emirati boxer Rashid Saif Belhasa.

The 19-year-old YouTube star, known as (Money Kicks), trained in the past months with his coach and promoter, Tam Khan, at the TK MMA & Fitness gym, and alongside him will be the first appearance of YouTube star Adam Saleh in martial arts in the East middle.

Belhasa said in a press statement: “Preparing for this championship requires great effort and training, and I try to offer the maximum of my knowledge in martial arts, because this competition is worth it.”

With over three million subscribers on YouTube and close to two million followers on Instagram, there's no reason why Belhasa can't be in Dubai like the Logan and Jake Paul brothers, who inspired him to move from YouTube to martial arts, especially when he met Logan Legendary boxer Paul Floyd Mayweather Jr. last June.

The fans are expected to watch 10 exciting matches, but due to the pandemic, limited seats will be provided for approximately 1,500 fans.

Khan pointed out that "this tournament is unparalleled in the world, and we are proud that we are starting an exceptional event as the first to use cryptocurrencies in booking tickets, in line with the government's directions aimed at leading Dubai in the digital economy and to become the preferred destination for all distinguished athletes."

He added, “The organizers will use KoKoSwap cards as transactions for all tournament purchases, including photographs that will be auctioned as non-redeemable tokens. He will make them an important part of the history of this tournament.”
