The ‘Last Crescendo’ – held on 22 February at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – was a landmark occasion in the boxing world. The event featured six world title fights, headlined by the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and the eventual winner Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed light heavyweight championship.
Brought in as Lighting Director for broadcast and responsible for executing the lighting for optimum visibility for both audience and cameras. We created dazzling lighting effects for the boxers’ entrances and worked closely with clients and teams from Arena Video, DAZN, Sky, Queensbury, Boxxer and Riyadh Season to cover both fight week and the main event and in turn were supported by a great and talented team of crew and suppliers.
