Comosa AG is working in partnership with boxers, promoters and managers around the world, and in alignment with the four major world boxing federations, to create a new global platform for the sport.
The first of its kind tournament, which is planned to take place on an annual basis, kicked off this past September with quarterfinals competition in two divisions, cruiserweight and super middleweight. An expert panel invited the world’s best boxers to compete, namely the top 15-ranked fighters of the four major federations: WBA, WBC, ಐಬಿಎಫ್ ಮತ್ತು ಡಬ್ಲ್ಯೂಬಿಒ. The winners of the two semifinals will advance to the championship round in both divisions this May.
