The agreement will see Xempower provide a range of technology and digital infrastructure solutions to support competition delivery and enhance data management that is designed to modernise event governance and enhance sporting integrity.
Under the terms of the partnership, Xempower will deploy a fully integrated digital infrastructure suite to support World Boxing’s competition management.

As part of the agreement Xempower will look to explore opportunities for the development and deployment of tools, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist the training of officials and the development of scoring solutions.
The partnership is a significant milestone in the ongoing development of World Boxing and reflects the commitment of its President, Gennadiy Golovkin, to delivering sporting integrity and ensuring competitive fairness.
The agreement follows a series of recent collaborations between World Boxing and Xempower at major competitions, including the ‘World Boxing Cup: Brazil 2026’ in April of this year, which have contributed to the development of a strategic partnership that is focused on the creation of a digital platform that will enhance sporting integrity.
