/ The Event
Darwin's longest-running fight night
King of the Ring is Darwin's oldest, most prominent and most recurring fight night — presented by Performance Gym.
It is loud, it is local, and every seat is close to the action. Fighters travel from across Australia and sometimes internationally to compete, and the event has been featured on Fox Sports.
Whether you are in the grandstand or on a ringside table, you will feel every round. Plus, the venue is fully air-conditioned, because in Darwin the only thing that should be sweating is the fighters.
