League Of Fire

Americas Belt Match

ZestFest – Sept 30th – Oct 2nd – Market Hall, Dallas

For the first time EVER the League Of Fire will be at ZestFest to bring you the Official League Of Fire AMERICAS Title Belt Match!

And just to make things extra spicy, the current Official World Chilli Eating Champion, the UK Chilli Queen, will be flying in from London, UK to host the brutal contest!

You can witness the current Americas Champion, Texas based Jayson ‘Hell Fire’ Hairrell defend his title against some of the most fearsome competitive chilli-eaters in the Americas!

Internationally renowned newspaper The Guardian described the League Of Fire as:

“……an elaborate global ranking system where points are allocated to competitors when they successfully complete challenges. Until the League of Fire was established, the community was disparate and disjointed, and there was no official ranking of competitors.”

And popular UK newspaper The Daily Star acknowledges the UK Chilli Queen and the League Of Fire, stating: “…[The UK Chilli Queen’s] unbeaten record is in properly officiated chilli-eating contests and is accepted by the League of Fire – the world governing body for competitive chilli-eating.”

You just CAN NOT MISS this professional level, brutal competition that will pitch the best of the best chilli-eaters into battle, eating the hottest peppers on Earth, in an attempt to be crowned the Americas Champion!
