KOTA KINABALU: The fight scene in Borneo is exploding — and this time, it is being fuelled not just by punches and power, but by style, identity and confidence as Clore steps in as headline sponsor for FIGHT FEST 2025 at Centre Point Sabah.
Happening yesterday and today (December 6 and 7) at Palm Square, Centre Point, the two-day showcase is already drawing youth crowds, fitness communities and fight fans into what is shaping up to be Sabah’s biggest martial arts festival since 2017.
This year, the spotlight is firmly on Clore.
What is Clore?
Clore is a Malaysia-based personal care and haircare brand specialising in professional-grade shampoo, scalp treatment and grooming solutions designed for active, modern lifestyles. Best known for its strong focus on scalp health, strengthening treatments and clean formulation, Clore has rapidly built a loyal following among barbers, fitness communities and young consumers across the country.
By stepping into the ring, Clore is not just putting its name on an event — it is plugging into culture.
“Clore is all about confidence and self-expression. Supporting FIGHT FEST is not just sponsorship — it is about backing a movement that empowers young people through discipline, fitness and belief in themselves,” said Clarence Thomas, Founder of Clore.
“Martial arts is not only physical strength — it is mental strength too. That’s exactly what our brand represents.”
A Festival, Not Just a Fight Card
With the iconic TEBABO crew headlining performances, FIGHT FEST 2025 features:
Amateur K-1 Kickboxing
NEWAZA Grappling (Sabah debut)
Live fitness and martial arts showcases
TEBABO performances
One of the shoppers, Hafiizh Ahmad when met at Centre Point said, Clore’s participation elevates FIGHT FEST into more than a sporting event.
“Clore brings identity into the experience,” he said when visiting Clore’s booth there.
“It’s no longer just about who wins the fight — it’s about belonging to something bigger, said Hafiz who is one of the fans of Tebabo.”
Set in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, Palm Square has become a live arena this weekend, welcoming Sabah’s youth culture, gym communities and families into a shared celebration of sport and style.
With Clore in the corner and TEBABO on stage, FIGHT FEST 2025 is not just happening — it’s happening now.
