ABOUT MAXIMUS
Built on Respect. Driven by Passion. Delivered with Purpose.
Maximus – An Evening of Martial Arts Combat is a Birmingham-based fight promotion created to showcase real martial artists, real competition, and real values.
Founded and promoted by Brad Hennessy and Andrew Hennessy, Maximus was built from the ground up by people deeply involved in the martial arts community — not outsiders chasing hype, but practitioners and organisers who understand the sport, the sacrifice, and the responsibility that comes with running combat events.
OUR MISSION
Our goal is simple:
To deliver professional, well-matched, and unforgettable martial arts events that put fighters first and give fans a night they’ll never forget.
Every Maximus event is designed to:
Showcase skill, courage, and discipline
Provide fair, competitive match-ups
Maintain the highest standards of safety and professionalism Build opportunities for fighters and clubs to grow
This is about honouring the art — not exploiting it.
ROOTED IN BIRMINGHAM. RESPECTED WORLDWIDE.
Proudly based in Birmingham, Maximus represents the heart of UK combat sports — hardworking fighters, committed coaches, and loyal supporters who value respect as much as results.
While our roots are local, our vision is international:
To become a trusted platform for Full Contact Kickboxing, K1, and Muay Thai athletes across the UK and beyond.
FIGHTER-FOCUSED PROMOTION
We believe fighters deserve:
Clear communication
Honest matchmaking
Events run properly, from weigh-ins to walkouts
That’s why we work directly with clubs and coaches, confirming bouts in advance and ensuring every match is agreed, fair, and meaningful.
Maximus isn’t about mismatches or shortcuts.
It’s about earning your place — and making it count.
SANCTIONED & TRUSTED
All Maximus bouts are sanctioned by the International Combat Organisation (ICO), ensuring every event meets strict standards for officiating, safety, and governance.
This commitment gives fighters, coaches, and spectators confidence that they’re part of a legitimate, professionally run show.
WHY MAXIMUS?
Because martial arts deserves better than rushed shows and empty hype.
Maximus delivers:
Serious fights
Serious organisation
Serious respect for the sport
Whether you’re stepping into the ring or taking a seat ringside, you’re part of something built with integrity.
