What is Duel Arena?
Duel Arena – officially styled “Duel: Arena” – is a combat sports brand from the team behind Duel.com, the crypto casino and sportsbook founded by Ossi “Monarch” Ketola. Its first show put professional MMA, boxing and kickboxing bouts on the same card as influencer fights and entertainment segments.
Unlike most MMA events, every contest at Duel Arena 1 took place in a boxing ring instead of a cage. That set-up suits strikers and lets boxing, kickboxing and MMA bouts share one stage.
What is duelarena.tv?
duelarena.tv is the official streaming website of Duel Arena. In the run-up to fight night it worked as a pay-per-view page: fans could buy the Duel Arena 1 broadcast for a one-time price of $29.99, with payment and streaming handled by PlayLive in available regions.
The page showed the event date, the venue, a countdown and the headline bouts. When the main event changed, the site was updated from Mike Perry vs. Dillon Danis to Mike Perry vs. Brandon Jenkins, and Gypsy Crusader vs. King Azoulay was added as the co-main event.
After the event, duelarena.tv started redirecting to the complete Duel Arena 1 broadcast on the official Duel: Arena YouTube channel, so the whole show can now be watched free of charge.
How to watch Duel Arena

Main event: Mike Perry vs. Brandon Jenkins
Duel Arena 1 was originally headlined by Mike Perry against Dillon Danis. Two days before the event, Danis pulled out with an injury, and Brandon Jenkins took the fight on short notice.
Perry pushed forward from the opening bell, but he hurt his shoulder during an exchange in the clinch. Jenkins followed up with a hard body kick and more strikes along the ropes, and the referee stopped the fight at 2:38 of the first round.

Exhibitions and entertainment bouts
Alongside the official fights, the card included non-sanctioned attractions. Before fight week, Duel Arena promoted a tongue-in-cheek boxing match between Ossi “Monarch” Ketola (listed at 92 kg) and Patrick Holden (listed at 41 kg).
On the night, Ketola boxed in an influencer bout that the official channel published as “Ossi ‘Monarch’ Ketola vs Thomas Phillips”, and a costumed Freakbob vs. Kinkki segment was shown on the broadcast. These contests are not part of the official results above.
