The competition, which is being hosted by England Boxing and World Boxing in association with GB Boxing, will be the culmination of the World Boxing Cup series for 2024 when the stage winners and other top-ranked boxers from this year’s events will compete for the World Boxing Cup Trophy.

The World Boxing Cup is a new international boxing format developed by World Boxing, the international federation which has been established to ensure boxing remains at the heart of the Olympic Movement.

World Boxing’s Secretary General, Simon Toulson, explained:  “We are very happy to bring the year-end Finals event back to Sheffield after the success of this January’s ‘World Boxing Cup: GB Open’, which was held in the city and received very positive feedback from the boxers, coaches and National Federations that participated.  World Boxing is committed to delivering a calendar of high quality competition opportunities and we have no doubt that this year’s Finals event in Sheffield will be a great end to the first series of the World Boxing Cup.”

Jerome Pels, Chief Executive, England Boxing, added: “We are thrilled to host yet another event at the home of England Boxing and GB Boxing in Sheffield. The World Boxing Cup in January demonstrated the remarkable achievements possible when stakeholders collaborate effectively. This upcoming tournament will offer fans a fantastic opportunity to witness the superstars of the sport firsthand and provide the boxers with another chance to compete in an elite environment against the world’s best.”

Councillor Martin Smith, Chair of the Economic Development Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “We are incredibly proud of Sheffield’s sporting credentials and being a city of sport. We have hosted many major sporting events over the years, and we are delighted that the World Boxing Cup Finals will be another.”

GB Boxing’s Chief Executive, Matt Holt, added: “This is great news for the boxers in our squad who will again get the opportunity to compete at home. They all enjoyed competing in the first World Boxing Cup in Sheffield back in January and those that make the Finals will be very much looking forward to having the chance to box at home once more where their family and friends can come to see them in action, in what will definitely be a high-class international competition.”

Home nation tops the medal table with three golds after five days of top-class action at the World Boxing Cup: USA Boxing International Invitational in Pueblo

April 22, 2024

The final day of action at the ‘World Boxing Cup: USA Boxing International Invitational’ in Pueblo, Colorado saw the home nation finish top of the medal table with three golds for flyweight (51kg), Terry Washington, light-welterweight (63.5kg), Dedrick Crocklem, and light-heavyweight (80kg), Amir Anderson. The latter two were decided by walkovers as their opponents pulled-out through injury.

It meant the USA narrowly pipped Brazil, China and Great Britain, who each won two golds, to the coveted slot at the top of the medal table. Algeria, Australia, Canada and Denmark all finished with one gold medallist.

The two walkovers meant that the final day saw 11 bouts, which included a number of top-class match-ups featuring boxers that have already qualified for this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris.

In the men’s light-middleweight division, Denmark’s European Games champion, Nikolai Terteryan, continued his excellent form with a split decision (4:1) victory over the USA’s Keon Davis to add to the gold medal he won at this year’s first World Boxing Cup event in Sheffield in January.

Another intriguing battle took place in the men’s featherweight (57kg) category where Brazil’s Luiz Oliveira and Great Britain’s Owain Harris met in a re-match of their qualification bout from the recent 1st World Qualifying Tournament in Italy. Once again, it was the Brazilian who prevailed with a victory that was much closer than the unanimous verdict indicated.

The women’s competition saw four of the six medals go to China and Great Britain with wins for Yu Wu (50kg), Wen Lu Yang (60kg), Charley Davison (54kg) and Elise Glynn (57kg). Algeria’s sole gold came in the light-welterweight (66kg) category where Paris-bound, Imen Khelif, secured a unanimous victory over Emilie Sonvico of France.

The women’s middleweight (75kg) final saw a face-off between two members of World Boxing’s Athlete Committee, Tammara Thibeault of Canada and Australia’s Caitlin Parker. The pair have boxed each other before and could meet again in this summer’s Olympics, however on this occasion it was the Canadian 2022 world champion, Thibeault, who prevailed with a unanimous win.

The full list of gold medallists includes:

Women’s 50kg: Yu Wu (CHN)

Women’s 54kg: Charley Davison (GBR)

Women’s 57kg: Elise Glynn (GBR)

Women’s 60kg: Wen Lu Yang (CHN)

Women’s 66kg: Imen Khelif (ALG)

Women’s 75kg: Tammara Thibeault (CAN)

Men’s 51kg: Terry Washington (USA)

Men’s 57kg: Luiz Oliveira (BRA)

Men’s 63.5kg: Dedrick Crocklem (USA)

Men’s 71kg: Nikolai Terteryan (DEN)

Men’s 80kg: Amir Anderson (USA)

Men’s 92kg: Keno Machado (BRA)

Men’s 92kg+: Teremoana Teremoana (AUS)
