Ray Mercer to grace Street Rumble Season 2

 

 Match Maker Sports International, organisers of Street Rumble, have announced that former Olympic gold medallist and heavyweight world champion Ray Mercer will be in Lagos for Season 2 of the boxing event, with Brila Media joining as the official broadcast partner.

 Street Rumble Season 2 is scheduled for December 13, 2026, at Maracana Square in Ajegunle, Lagos.

 Following the success of the inaugural edition in April, the second season will return with an expanded vision aimed at showcasing Nigeria’s emerging boxing talents and providing a platform for the discovery of the country’s next generation of champions.

 A major attraction at the event will be the special international ringside appearance of Mercer, the American who won heavyweight gold at the 1988 Olympic Games before becoming a WBO World Heavyweight Champion.

 The organisers also confirmed Brila Media as the official media and broadcast partner for the second season, a move expected to give the grassroots boxing event wider exposure.

 “We are excited to officially welcome Brila Media as the Official Media Partner of The Street Rumble Season 2,” said Mike Adeyemo, CEO of Match Maker Sports International.

 “Brila Media has a strong presence in Nigerian sports media, and this partnership will help us take the Street Rumble story to an even larger audience.

 “Our mission is to give young fighters a platform, promote grassroots boxing, and build a movement that can create opportunities for the next generation,” Adeyemo added.

 With Mercer’s presence and expanded media coverage, the organisers are positioning Season 2 as another major step in their efforts to promote grassroots boxing and develop future Nigerian boxing champions.
