Returning Soon

Canadian Fighting Championship is a Combat Sports promotion company launched in 2009 and based in Winnipeg Manitoba. CFC has promoted professional Kickboxing , Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts.

CFC ran 8 successful events at the Winnipeg Convention Centre from 2009 – 2013. Our mission was to promote the top professional fighters in Manitoba and run the best pro fight events in Canada. We have had national and international fighters compete on our events, with former and future UFC stars fighting for CFC in Winnipeg.

Following our last event in 2013, the new goal was to grow combat sports at the amateur level in Manitoba, and we began the journey to have amateur combat sports regulated in Manitoba by our provincial government.

In 2018, a petition will over 1700 signatures was presented to Manitoba Government asking to amend the combative sports act and give the Manitoba Combative Sports Commission the ability to regulate and sanction amateur combat sports. This petition was launched by CFC founder and President Giuseppe DeNatale.

On May 17 2023, former Minister of Sport Obby Khan presented the first reading of Bill 40, The Manitoba Combative Sports Amendment Act at the Manitoba Legislative Building Royal accent of Bill 40 occurred on May 30 2023, and the new combative sports act was proclaimed by Manitoba’s Premier Wab Kinew on November 27 2024, and Giuseppe DeNatale was there every step of the way. Now Amatuer Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts competition is legal in Manitoba.

CFC looks forward to building and promoting combat sports in Manitoba at the amateur and professional level, as well as working with the Manitoba Government to help bring in youth combative sports in the near future.

Thank you,

Giuseppe DeNatale
CFC President
