Bruce, has also showcased his talents at other major sporting events, including
Major League Baseball’s World Series, NFL play-off matches and Stanley Cup
championships’.

of this history-making Probellum show and I’m very much looking forward to
announcing at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai for the first time in my career.
“The event features some of the most talented boxers in the
world, along with two world title fights, and I hope to see many fans in
attendance for what promises to be a wonderful night of fight action.
“Probellum is already making big waves in the world of boxing on
a global scale, and I’m delighted to be involved in its first show.”
Richard Schaefer, Probellum President, added: “To secure the services of Michael
Buffer for our first event is a tremendous coup.
“Michael needs no introduction. He is undoubtedly one of the
most famous voices in boxing, and we look forward to welcoming him to the
Coca-Cola Arena on December 11.
“Our first event is one which will go down in history, with a
fantastic card and a world-class venue. The addition of Michael helps us
elevate the occasion to an even greater level.”
Over
the years, Buffer has announced countless fights involving the biggest names in
boxing, including Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, Manny
Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez. He was the man on the microphone for September’s
heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk in London.
