I’m pleased to announce that this year’s EU World Boxing Championship (EUWBC) will be going ahead, starting in September
The big news is that this time round the tournament will be officially sponsored by First Planet Company who have agreed to provide prizes – thank you very much to the guys and girls at FPC for your support!
I know you’re wondering what the prizes are going to be… but I’m not saying yet
However I can tell you that they are very nice prizes indeed and I highly recommend that you get practising to improve your chances of winning!
The event is also sponsored by Globex Designs, Inc. who will once again be creating unique personalised forum signatures for the winners and providing some graphical assistance.
EntropiaForum have also agreed to sponsor the event with some EF premium memberships as prizes for the winners and runners-up.
Thank you to Globex and 711 for their help and contribution!
I’m hoping to be able to announce some further sponsors and partners soon, including details on media coverage of the competition.
Schedule
Subject to change, but it’s looking something like this
Registration for the tournament will open in mid/late August, when I’ll also post the official rules and other information (and yes, reveal what those prizes are!). Registration will be open for approximately 3 weeks, leading up to 12 September when I will host the opening party and first round draw.
Matches will begin on 19 September.
What’s New
Following last year’s tournament I’ll be making a few changes based on the experience and feedback from the participants.
Final details on the rules etc will be posted in mid/late August, but here are a few things to expect:
I hope we’ll see lots of people taking part. Stay tuned for more news as it develops!

Final details on the rules etc will be posted in mid/late August, but here are a few things to expect:
- Weight divisions will be reorganised to divide participants more equally/fairly across each category;
- Registration system will be improved to reduce no-shows;
- The whole tournament is being held later in the year to improve participant availability;
- Less lenience will be shown to people not showing up for matches or otherwise wasting the time of judges and other participants;
- Venue will be changed to reduce lag;
- Match schedule will be more intensive to reduce the overall length of the tournament;
- Excessive jumping will be disallowed.
I hope we’ll see lots of people taking part. Stay tuned for more news as it develops!
