IMMAF 2023 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - SERBIA

Kiaora, my name is Ezra Berghan.

I'm excited to say that I have been selected as the welterweight contender to represent New Zealand at an international level, and so - I am fundraising for the amateur MMA World Championship tournament in Belgrade, Serbia on Feb 11 - 18.

About myself:

I'm an amateur mixed martial artist training out of Core MMA gym in the Waikato.

I am the current South Pacific Welterweight Champion with a record of 9 - 2

(8 by TKO/KO).

I'm committed to this sport and the journey it has me on and I am proud to represent the country I have much love for.

Limiting factor:

Competitions can be expensive, especially with travel involved and financial position is often a limiting factor for amateur athletes.

My goal is to raise enough funds to alleviate the financial pressure to allow me more time to focus on the training for this competition.

Below you will see a rough breakdown of the costs involved and how raised funds will be utilized.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

One taxi fair, one meal or the cost of one phone call.

I would love to give my best on the world stage and test my metal vs the best in the World
