BRAD RIDDELL,
UFC LIGHTWEIGHT
"The Art of War is one of the best shows in New Zealand. A great deal of care and expertise is put into the match-making, ensuring that competitors are fairly and appropriately matched.
In addition to offering a competition experience, the Art of War provides a community for martial artists and their supporters. I can't recommend the show highly enough"
AWEN GUTTENBEIL,
FORMER NZ WARRIORS CAPTAIN
"I have been to a number of world title boxing matches in Las Vegas as well numerous UFC events around the world. I can say that the grounded, authentic fight night feel the "Art of War '' provides is second to none. The fights are always well matched and provide fantastic entertainment and the promotion is very slick. I can't wait to be at the next event they put on!"
MILAN BORICH,
NZ MUSICIAN, PLUTO FRONT MAN
"The Art of War is a great fight promotion. Tony Angelov is a fantastic advocate and champion of the fight game who wants to give fighters the opportunity to show their stuff on a bigger stage and get rewarded for all their hard work. My daughter and I have been to quite a few of the shows and loved every moment - entertaining night all round and extremely well organised! "
