The Boxing World Championship is one of the most prestigious and anticipated events in the world of boxing. The tournament brings together the strongest fighters on the planet, competing for the title of world champion in various weight categories. This event attracts attention not only from sports fans but also from analysts, journalists, and bettors around the globe.

Championship history 

The first Boxing World Championship took place in 1974 in Havana, Cuba. Since then, the tournament has been held in numerous countries, including Russia, Germany, Serbia, the USA, and Uzbekistan. It has served as a career springboard for stars such as Félix Savón, Vasiliy Lomachenko, Artem Dalakian, and others.
