Once again Tokyo’s corporate titans will have the chance to take their battles from the boardroom to the boxing ring. Executive Fight Night III: Triple Thunder is slated to go down Friday, November 8 at the illustrious Grand Hyatt Tokyo Ballroom. This Vegas-style fight night will see 16 corporate amateurs (14 men and two women) endure a twelve-week boot camp to get in fighting shape, learn the ropes from professional fight trainers and develop their “eye of the tiger.” On event night, these brave souls from all walks of life and 8 different countries will step into the ring and duke it out in eight exciting bouts—each lasting for three rounds of two minutes each. The last EFN drew over 460 attendees and raised over ¥7.6M for Refugees International Japan from the charity live auction and raffle. Individual seats, ringside and gold tables are still available but will go quickly. This event’s proceeds will once again benefit Refugees International Japan.
