Hell Boxing Kings
Written by David Garai
There are main prizes of $100,000 per weight class. This motivated thousands – including Olympic and world champions – to register for Hell Energy’s international boxing tournament within just a few weeks.
The Hell Energy has launched an international boxing tournament with a total prize money of $1 million. The fights can be followed on YouTube and the Hell Boxing Kings social media platforms. As the energy drink manufacturer announced, all preliminary round, semi-final and final fights will be broadcast live. The winners will receive $100,000 per weight class and the possibility of a professional contract.
Open to other martial artists
Several thousand fighters have already registered in the ten participating countries (Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria and Azerbaijan), including professional boxers such as Olympic and World Cup participants.
“Fighters from other martial arts also see an opportunity in Hell Boxing Kings: MMA, karateka, K1 and Thai boxing will also be represented in large numbers. However, the most positive effect for us is that a lot of participants want to compete without any previous experience just for the love of boxing,” said Tamás Mádi, Managing Director of Hell Energy Promotion Kft.
Roy Jones Jr. inspired
The face of the tournament is Roy Jones jr., the nine-time world champion in four (!) weight classes in boxing. Hell Energy is convinced that the presence of the American boxing legend not only increases the prestige of the competition, but also strengthens and inspires the participants in their will to fight with all their might for victory.
The special feature of this event is that there will be no separate amateur and professional categories, but everyone will start at the same level. However, the fights in the initial phase are initially contested according to the amateur rules, before the professional rules come into force at a certain point in the tournament.
Gala before Christmas in Miskolc
The registration period runs until March 15th. Anyone over the age of 18 is eligible to register, provided they meet the conditions as described on the hellboxingkings.com website. From the end of March, elimination bouts will take place in all participating countries to identify the talent who will be able to represent their country at the Hell Boxing Kings tournament. The big preliminary round takes place in June and the semi-finals in autumn. The grand finale of the year-round boxing gala will take place on December 22nd in the Miskolc DVTK Arena, with fights in four weight classes over 6 rounds of 3 minutes each.
