Load-in, the rig going up inside the stadium, show control, the pyro and the title fight — the night in 80 seconds.

Overview

Boxing in an open-air stadium.

A WBA regular heavyweight title fight — Ruslan Chagaev vs Fres Oquendo — staged in the middle of a football stadium, with the ring under a white arch and giant screens facing the stands.

A stadium changes the rules of a fight show: the audience is far from the ring, so the story has to live on the screens. The rig carried large LED screens on scaffold towers and above the ring arch, visible from every stand.

Fighter cards with records and stats introduced each bout on the undercard and the main event, and show graphics kept the whole bowl with the action through the night.

Stage design

A ring under an arch of light.

We designed the ring set for the middle of the pitch — an arch over the ring to carry the mapping, with screens on towers around it.
