The 14th League of Fire World Title Chilli-Eating Belt Match is officially set for August 1st 2026 at the 1st Annual Detroit Hot Sauce Festival in Detroit, Michigan - at what we can only call the most perfect backdrop for a world title showdown - the legendary Masonic Temple Detroit, the largest Masonic Temple in the world, a towering neo-Gothic fortress of stone, history, and atmosphere that feels more like a cathedral of champions than a venue - and itโs shaping up to be a phenomenal match!
๐ค Hosted by the legend herself - the unbeaten UK Chilli Queen - winner of 6 World Title Matches, 97 contests all inโฆ NEVER defeated.
๐ World Champion vs. Hungarian Champion
