Ushering in a new era in the sport, reuniting the broader boxing world and its grassroots amateur foundation, the World Series of Boxing provides a bridge between Olympic boxing and professional boxing. WSB will help the sport of boxing reclaim its noble position and heritage at all levels.
The competition format will consist of team and individual championships. Teams of a minimum of 10 boxers will represent 12 cities from three regional conferences: Asia, Europe and the Americas.
WSB matches will consist of:
- 5 weight categories: bantam, light, middle, light heavy and heavy
- 5 bouts per match
- 5 rounds of 3 minutes per bout
- Manual scoring
The team competition involves six home and six away matches per season and concludes with a play-off series featuring semi-finals and the team finals.
Individual championships will take place after the team competitions. The top 2 ranked boxers from each weight category will compete in a title bout to crown the individual WSB World Champions.
WSB matches will not use head-guards or vests in the competition format.
