When one thinks of France’s Deauville, sparkling imagery of A-listers from the film world sipping champagne against the backdrop of the famed Casino Barrière springs to mind. Thanks to Djamel Yacouben and his Prestige Fight organization, this January, the iconic city will house not just cinematic legends but athletic ones as well.
Step aside Cannes, and hold on Paris, the next big gala by Prestige Fight is ready to dazzle the renowned Casino Barrière in Deauville! And for those not familiar, this isn’t just another event – it’s an extravaganza where the grandeur of French ‘savoir faire’ collides head-on with the raw emotion and power of the ‘noble art’ of boxing.
For the uninitiated, Djamel Yacouben isn’t a new name in the world of boxing. A kickboxing champion crowned with the USKBA world champion title in 2001, Yacouben transitioned seamlessly from the fierce competition inside the ring to the intricate workings outside of it. Today, he stands not only as a former professional boxer but also as a pioneering figurehead in sports event consulting.
Under his capable leadership, the Prestige Fight organization has come to signify more than just boxing. It has morphed into a confluence of enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Whether they’re partners, athletes, or collaborators, everyone rallying around the banner of Prestige Fight shares a common trait – an undying passion for the values upheld by the sport of boxing.
English boxing, for instance, with its riveting mix of spectacle, aesthetics, and ethics, has found a staunch advocate in Yacouben. His commitment goes beyond just organizing events. Through Prestige Fight, Yacouben is painting the sport with luxurious shades, merging the heart-pounding thrills of the ring with sumptuous environments and services that not only match but often exceed the expectations of an ever-demanding audience.
To sprinkle a dash of modernity into the traditional mix, Yacouben and Prestige Fight have now aligned forces with TV producer Fabrice Sopoglian. The aim? To curate influencer and celebrity boxing matches, allowing the world to witness their favorite stars in a never-seen-before avatar. And for those unable to make it to Deauville in person, a pay-per-view network deal ensures that the excitement can be captured from the comfort of one’s living room.
Behind any grand venture, there’s often a series of steadfast supporters. In the case of Prestige Fight, it’s the unwavering support of AXDIS PRO, with the group’s CEO, Thierry Hourquet, championing the cause of promoting the ‘noble art’. From the initial galas to the forthcoming ones, the symbiotic association of AXDIS PRO and Prestige Fight has been integral in elevating the sport’s appeal.
Brace yourselves, for between January 20 and 22, the CASINO BARRIERE DEAUVILLE will not just witness bets on roulette tables. Instead, it will host athletes and celebrities, all battling it out in the ring for honor, glory, and a dash of entertainment.
Whether you’re an ardent fan of boxing or just looking for an evening brimming with luxury and thrill, this is one event you’d regret missing. For more sneak peeks and updates, follow Prestige Fight on their Instagram or visit their official website.
In a world where sports often finds itself segregated from the ritz and glamour of luxury events, Prestige Fight’s upcoming gala promises to redefine boundaries, ensuring that punches and pizzazz can, indeed, coexist spectacularly.
