Now, he's stepping into a different kind of spotlight—one where sweat, grit, and courage speak louder than words. His bout against musician and boxer Modrick Buck represents a defining moment for both the man and the mission he stands behind: to inspire individuals to face their fears, take risks, and pursue excellence in all areas of life. Set against the backdrop of Dubai's iconic skyline, Crypto Fight Night merges the adrenaline of combat sports with the disruptive spirit of blockchain and Web3 culture. It is a celebration of innovation, audacity, and the human will to persevere. The event will be available to watch globally, offering fans around the world a front-row seat to witness what Rose promises will be a night to remember. 'There's no more talk. No more posturing.
