The three-day event will also feature a first-ever CGWE Professional World Championship title fight in Lagos, as well as a global leadership and cultural symposium that will bring together over 50 speakers from more than 30 countries.

She added that the packed lineup includes a Global Impact Award, conference, CEOs’ forum, B2B matching, tourism, trade fair and exhibition, business pitch, celebrity boxing, kickboxing K1, talent hunt, pageantry, CGWE wrestling, mixed martial arts, breakout sessions, global innovative pitch, networking, fashion show gallery, cultural showcase, music, comedy, dance and fashion show, gala dinner, red carpet, raffle draw, and the unveiling of Celebrity Global Impact Magazine.

Ekufu, a superintendent in the Nigeria Police Force, who is also the first African woman to win kickboxing and MMA world titles, is the chief executive officer and executive producer/founder of Diamond Superstars Promotion, a global fight and entertainment company based in Nigeria and the United States.

The event scheduled for Queen’s Park Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, according to Ekufu, will create unforgettable experiences for participants by blending sports and entertainment to foster community engagement and support charitable causes.
 
Among renowned fighters expected at the event are Wesley Pipes and Jaxon Slade, who will feature in an electrifying bout.
 
Speaking on the project, Ekufu said:

“The Street2Fame Talent Hunt offers a springboard for upcoming talents and celebrities, will  engage fans, nurture new talents from streets to stardom, and also promote community engagement and crime prevention.”
 
She said that the multi-category talent hunt would feature competitions in music, dance, acting, art and craft, modelling, and comedy.
 
“The audition opened on Saturday, September 17 with such judges as Uncle Ben, Naomi Mac, and Victory Gbakara, with Obed David as host.
 
“A major feature of the event would be the Global Impact Awards, which will recognise and honour outstanding individuals and organisations making significant impact in sports, entertainment, and community development.”
