World Boxing Cup Ulaanbaatar 2024!

A historic evening awaits the Nederlandse Vechtsportbond (NVB), which deals with kickboxing, muaythai and mixed martial arts (mma). Members of NOC*NSF will vote tonight on the entry of the federation as an aspiring member of organized sports in the Netherlands. NVB chairman Peter Kwint explains why this is so important. "Rico Verhoeven has always had to arrange everything himself. Now we can develop our own top-level sports policy."

Boxing is a sport that excites and engages millions across the world. We all share a passion for boxing and agreed that it is important to support its development at every level, from grassroots and recreational, to the high performance Olympic style, and all the way to pro level. WBC is a prominent professional boxing governing body that recognizes the importance of boxing’s Olympic inclusion. World Boxing and England Boxing understand the importance of the opportunities that pro boxing offers for the boxers. Open and close cooperation is important between all governing bodies to ensure a bright future for the sport we love.
