Dubai is set for a landmark evening of boxing as the emirate prepares to host the highly anticipated event, Destiny in the Desert. Organised by The Agenda and scheduled for 13 February 2026 at its Media City venue, the event will put the spotlight on the UAE’s first professional boxer, Eisa Al Dah, who is set to take on former UK world champion Kell Brook for the WBC “Union Belt”.
The much-awaited bout is more than just a fight; it marks a significant milestone for professional boxing in the UAE and the Gulf region. Al Dah, who has dedicated his career to elevating the sport locally, enters the contest with a record of eight wins and three losses. The upcoming clash against the seasoned Kell Brook is expected to attract significant international interest and cement Dubai’s status on the global sporting stage.
The event’s undercard will further ignite excitement, featuring matches that pit UAE-based fighters against competitors from Manchester, UK. Adding to the night’s prestige, the programme will also pay tribute to legendary boxing figure Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton, with support directed toward his charitable foundation.
Tickets for Destiny in the Desert—ranging from VIP boxes to ringside seats—are already on sale, a testament to the organisers’ ambition to deliver a premium sporting spectacle in the Middle East.
Backed by Dubai’s world-class infrastructure, global connectivity, and a growing reputation as a regional sports hub, the emirate’s staging of this major boxing night emphasises its emerging role in hosting world-class events beyond its established arenas.
