Popular Romani musician Rytmus to box Gábor Boráros in Slovakia

The popular musician Patrik Vrbovský, who performs under the name Rytmus, will be boxing for a new Slovak martial arts organization, Fight Night Challenge, against Gábor Boráros, according to the Czech-Slovak Mixed Martial Arts website ceskoslovenskemma.cz, at an event that will include another match featuring MMA celebrity Attila Végh. Rytmus last boxed three years ago. 

The Romani-Slovak rapper last sparred against the Czech rapper Marpo in a boxing match at the O2 arena in Prague. The Fight Night Challenge match will happen on 27 December, and Boráros and Rytmus will face off before another fight that evening featuring the actor Jakub Štáfek. 

As for Végh, he will be trying boxing for the first time instead of MMA. According to sources behind the scenes, Végh will be facing off against the American Emanuel Newton, a rival against whom the Slovak fighter has competed previously in two events organized by Bellator, one of which was won by the American and the other by Végh. 

Fight Night Challenge plans to hold boxing and MMA matches featuring popular figures and professional fighters. Audiences can also look forward to Slovak rapper Majk Spirit competing in one of their events in future.
