Gamingtec has been named Headline Impact Partner of Midnight Mayhem Fight Night, a charity boxing event run by Behind The Gloves and scheduled alongside ICE Barcelona on 19 January 2027.

Behind The Gloves said the campaign is targeting €150,000 in fundraising and will follow 16 industry figures as they prepare to box.

According to the organisers, Gamingtec’s support will cover elements including a six-month training programme, event fundraising, fighter storytelling and post-event impact reporting. The partnership will also support a WBC Adaptive Boxing showcase and reporting on how proceeds are distributed to charities nominated by fighters and partners.

Sapar Karyagdyyev, Founder of Gamingtec, said: “At Gamingtec, we believe the strongest partnerships create value beyond business, so supporting Midnight Mayhem was a natural fit for us. The initiative brings together people from across our industry to raise money for important causes while highlighting the positive impact the sector can have when it comes together behind a shared goal.

“We’re proud to support Behind The Gloves as Headline Impact Partner and look forward to growing the event, amplifying its fundraising mission and celebrating the participants throughout their journey to ICE Barcelona.”

Lee McFarland, Founder of Behind The Gloves, said: “A target like €150,000 isn’t achieved through enthusiasm alone – it’s achieved through commitment. Gamingtec’s decision to become our Headline Impact Partner strengthens every part of Midnight Mayhem and gives us the platform to create an even greater impact for the charities and communities we’re supporting.

“But more importantly, it sends a message. When a company of Gamingtec’s standing backs an initiative like this, it shows what our industry can achieve when businesses come together behind a shared purpose. That’s how one fight night becomes something much bigger, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner to have in our corner.”
