LAS VEGAS — This past weekend, Fight 4 Mental Health and its founder, Egypt Brown, took Las Vegas by storm during one of the most influential weekends in global fitness and sports history. The 2025 International Sports Hall of Fame ceremony brought together Olympic legends, Hall of Famers, and world champions—and Fight 4 Mental Health was right in the mix, sharing its mission of mental wellness and athlete advocacy among some of the biggest names in the industry.
Held alongside the prestigious Mr. Olympia and Ms. Olympia competitions, the Hall of Fame event honored icons across multiple disciplines. The energy was unmatched, the connections powerful, and the weekend became one of the most significant moments yet for the Fight 4 Mental Health movement.
A Gathering of Legends
Among the honorees and attendees were some of the greatest athletes of all time.
Cydney Gillon, eight-time Olympia champion, represented the best of fitness and female strength.
Ryan Crouser, three-time Olympic champion and one of the most dominant shot putters in history, shared insights ahead of his next Olympic run.
Bill “Superfoot” Wallace, the martial arts legend who once trained Elvis Presley, received special recognition for his contributions to combat sports.
Nancy Lieberman, a Basketball Hall of Famer and trailblazer for women in sports, stood out as an advocate for youth and female empowerment.
And Fred Biletnikoff, NFL Hall of Famer, attended alongside his wife, who together run a foundation supporting women’s mental health—a cause closely aligned with Fight 4 Mental Health’s mission.
Connecting with Icons in Sports and Entertainment
Egypt Brown’s weekend was filled with meaningful encounters that highlighted the growing intersection of sports, entertainment, and mental wellness. One of the most memorable meetings came with Leigh Steinberg, the legendary sports agent behind over $4 billion in athlete contracts, including Patrick Mahomes and Oscar De La Hoya. Known as the real-life inspiration behind Jerry Maguire, Steinberg immediately connected with the mission of Fight 4 Mental Health, emphasizing the importance of athlete support beyond the field and ring.
The weekend also included a powerful introduction to Randy Couture, UFC legend and actor, who expressed interest in collaborating with Fight 4 Mental Health on future initiatives related to combat sports and veteran mental health. Likewise, Nancy Lieberman voiced her desire to join the effort, marking a strong expansion into basketball and women’s sports advocacy.
The Olympia Connection
An unexpected highlight came when Egypt Brown and the Fight 4 Mental Health team met Dan Solomon, President of Mr. Olympia. Solomon personally invited the team to experience the Olympia firsthand—a historic gesture that opens the door for potential future collaborations between Fight 4 Mental Health and the world’s largest bodybuilding platform. Discussions even began around bringing boxing and mental health programming to the Olympia stage in upcoming years.
A Billion-Dollar Weekend in the Fitness Capital
Beyond the meetings and accolades, the Las Vegas trip represented something deeper for Fight 4 Mental Health: presence. Being in the epicenter of a billion-dollar fitness and entertainment industry showed how far the organization has come—and how many doors are opening. Every handshake, every conversation, and every new ally reinforced the growing global relevance of the mission to make athlete wellness and mental health support as essential as physical training.
“This was easily one of our best trips,” said Egypt Brown. “To stand among legends, connect with people who’ve shaped the sports world, and see how our message resonates—it shows we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be.”
Looking Ahead
Fight 4 Mental Health continues to bridge the worlds of athletics, mental wellness, and entertainment—building coalitions with champions, promoters, and cultural leaders who believe that strong minds make stronger athletes. From the boxing ring to the Olympia stage, the movement is growing fast, and after Las Vegas, its momentum has never been greater.
