On 21 August 2026, Ultimate Dirty Boxing will host an all-women's Fight Night in Cape Town, South Africa, with the aim of tackling the issue of period poverty. The black-tie event, fully contested and run by women, will feature a 12-fight card showcasing South Africa's most talented female combat athletes. Every fighter, official, and broadcast crew member participating in the event will be female, replacing the traditional ring card girls with ring men.
The evening will also feature awareness-raising efforts and a chance to win a sanitary product dispensing machine for a school through sponsorships. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Menstruation Foundation, an organization working to end period poverty in South Africa.
