Fight Night: The recap, the champions
See who came out on top in CRN's annual charity boxing night
On Thursday evening, 500 channel professionals descended on the Brewery in London, for one of the best nights the London tech scene has to offer.
For the 16th year, CRN hosted Fight Night – a highlight of our events calendar, and a chance for channel pros to let loose and support their colleagues, all in the name of charity.
18 fighters entered the ring and gave their absolute best after 12 weeks of training. Over the course of the evening, we raised over £20,000 for various charities, across the silent auction, raffle, and of course, through the fighters' own fundraising efforts.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who attended on the night, the fighters who trained rigorously to get to this point, and event sponsors Agilitas and OpenText Security.
