I’m certain that his contribution to the organisation will make a great difference to those in need and will make the level of impact that it has at IMMAF. Densign has brought unwavering dedication and highly productive developments to IMMAF over his time here and during my presidency. Sporting Equals has the honourable task engaging sport within disadvantaged BME communities and I feel that this new link between Sporting Equals and IMMAF could open doors for a wealth of new participants and better recognition for the sport of MMA.” For more information on Sporting Equals visit SportingEquals.org.]]>
