World Boxing publishes Competition Calendar for 2025

World Boxing has published an initial competition calendar for 2025 which features four World Boxing Cup Events and the inaugural World Boxing Championships 2025 for Elite men and women.

The calendar is available on the World Boxing website and can be viewed HERE.

The centrepiece of the calendar is the World Boxing Championships 2025 in September in Liverpool, England which will be the first ever global championships for Elite men and women hosted by World Boxing.

It will be preceded by three events in the World Boxing Cup series, which is a new competition format developed by World Boxing whereby elite male and female boxers accrue ranking points over several stages of competition during the calendar year. It is designed to bring greater structure and meaning to the competition calendar in Olympic-style boxing and culminates in a Finals event where the stage winners and other top-ranked boxers compete for the World Boxing Cup trophy.

The World Boxing Cup 2025 follows the 2024 series which featured competitions in England, USA and Mongolia and culminated in a Finals event in England in November 2024.

The first event of the World Boxing Cup 2025 will be the “World Boxing Cup: Brazil 2025 – Foz do Iguaçu” which will be held at the Rafain Palace Hotel & Convention from 29 March – 6 April 2025.

It will be followed by a World Boxing Cup in Kazakhstan in June and a third one in July at a location to be confirmed. The World Boxing Cup season finals will be held in New Delhi, India, in November 2025 following the World Boxing Championships.
