Fight Club 2018: Meet the Fighters
Roll up, roll up
Rosalind ThackerAll new Fight Club is here and the fighters have been training HARD for six weeks in preparation.
The students are fighting for a cause, with all of the profits of the event to go to Cancer Research UK. Plus, the event will be taking place at the Lancastrian Suite and will include red carpets, student drink prices and an official after-party at Swingers!
Rob Clarkson, from Stage One Events, told The Newcastle Tab: " I couldn’t be more happy to announce that after months of hard work our debut Fight Clun event has now officially SOLD OUT almost two weeks in advance!
"With over 1,300 guests joining us on the 29th November it is looking like quite the spectacle as 24 of Newcastles finest student athletes go head to head proudly fighting for a cause with all profits going to Cancer Research UK."
