The third World Boxing Cup event of the year will be held at the UG Arena, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from September 23-26, 2024.

The four-day competition is the first World Boxing Cup event to be held in Asia and is being hosted by the Mongolian Boxing Federation and World Boxing.

The World Boxing Cup is a new annual competition series in which elite male and female boxers accrue ranking points over several stages of competition throughout the calendar year. The event in Mongolia will feature contests at seven men’s weight categories and six for women and the winners will earn the right to compete in the World Boxing Cup Finals 2024 which are scheduled to take place in Sheffield, England at the end of November 2024.

The announcement that Mongolia will host this event was made during a visit to the country by the President of World Boxing, Boris van der Vorst, who has held a series of meetings with senior representatives of the Mongolian Boxing Federation.

The President of World Boxing, Boris van der Vorst, said: “I am delighted that we will be holding our first World Boxing Cup event in Asia and am very grateful to the Mongolian Boxing Federation for its willingness and to host the competition and its steadfast and on-going support for World Boxing and our work to deliver a better future for the sport.

“The World Boxing Cup in Ulaanbaatar will be a top-class event and my colleagues, and I look forward to working closely with the Mongolian Boxing Federation to deliver this important competition in Asia.”

Mayor of the capital city and board member of Mongolian Boxing Federation Mr. Nyambaatar Khishgee, added: “We are very proud to bring this exciting new competition to Mongolia and look forward to working with World Boxing to deliver a fantastic event for our country and all of the boxers that will be taking part.”

The event in Ulaanbaatar will be the third World Boxing Cup of 2024 and follows events in Sheffield, England in January and Colorado, USA in April.

World Boxing was launched in April 2023 and aims to ensure that boxing remains at the heart of the Olympic movement. On 7 May 2024 it held its first meeting with the IOC which signaled the start of formal collaboration between the two organizations aimed at establishing a pathway for boxing to remain in the Olympic Games.

World Boxing currently has 34 members covering all of the five Continents that compete in international boxing.
