Inverleigh Director Matt Whytcross added: “EFC is a premium promotion with high-calibre athletes and excellent production values. We see an exciting growth opportunity, for both parties, by way of this partnership.”
The deal also features ‘The Fighter’ – a reality series where ten undefeated contenders from around the world live and train together, and are pitted against each other, fighting to avoid elimination. Season 1 of The Fighter is currently in production.
Broadcast rights for EFC events and programming are currently being offered for license via Inverleigh’s in-house sales team.
