MUMBAI: Mixed martial arts promotion Super Fight League (SFL), has further added to the celebrity quotient on its owner roster by naming newbie Hindi film star Tiger Shroff as co-owner of the (no prizes for guessing) Bengaluru Tigers franchise.
The league, which kicked off on 20th January, already has Bollywood celebrities like Ajay Devgn, Arjun Rampal, Salim & Sulaiman and Randeep Hooda co-owning Mumbai Maniacs, Delhi Heroes, UP Nawabs and Haryana Sultans teams respectively.
“It is with great pride that I welcome Tiger to the Super Fight League. I have always believed Indian MMA needs an innovative and experimental format to bring the fans to the stadiums and in front of television. I am hugely pleased at the level of interest the creation of the SFL has generated. We believe the league signals the commencement of a new epoch in the development of MMA in India.” Bill Dosanjh, SFL’s CEO & principal founder said.
Commenting on the development, Shroff said, “So excited to be associated with Super Fight League and the Bengaluru Tigers! As a martial artist myself I share the same passion as these fighters and will do my best to help make a difference in the SFL world. Go Tigers!”
The Super Fight League is being held at Siri Fort Sports Complex, New Delhi, every Friday, Saturday & Sunday at 7:00 PM and is telecast LIVE on SONY ESPN & SONY ESPN HD channels and also streamed live on SonyLIV.
