This fight with Khan has been a long time in the making and now the fight will live on via these NFTs forever. I will continue to create unique experiences for fans who own my NFTs.”
Through DaVinci, fans and customers can engage and securely access their purchased content on a decentralized data cloud, while assured the content lives on the blockchain. As part of the launch, DaVinci is also sponsoring Brook. The British boxer will be wearing DaVinci-branded clothing leading up to, during, and following the fight.
