World Xtreme Boxing Challenge brings the classic art of boxing to the next level with a “round-robin” tournament set-up; an exciting new style that has never been done before in the world of boxing..
WXBC’s mission is to provide fans with competitive and exciting fights with a price point that is affordable to all, offering talented fighters a platform from which they can showcase their skills to a global audience while filling in the gap between fighters that make no money and the fighters who fight for mega–millions. Celebrity boxing fans have already been slated to attend the tournaments.
World Xtreme Boxing Challenge was created by esteemed Don House, who has helped mold the careers of boxers and UFC fighters such as Diego Corrales, Freddy Norwood, Chuck Lidell, Tito Ortiz and many more. WXBC provides tournament style boxing and has implemented new ideas to better serve the sport. “I’m excited to see my vision, WXBC, come to fruition!” says creator Don House, “traditional boxing has tarnished the image of the sport, from protected fighters to the numerous ‘red tape’ sanctions. WXBC will revolutionize the sport – – – it will level the playing field, allowing talented fighters to showcase their skills and give them the opportunity to win the over $2M. World Xtreme Boxing Challenge is an event the public has been waiting for, fans will tune into pick their favorite boxer represent his country and fight his way, round by round, watching as his purse grows with each bout win!”
In order to qualify for WXBC, each fighter must have at least ten professional bouts under their belt. WXBC will provide a once-per-month event, with every fourth month being held in another country. Each event will feature one weight class, the first being heavyweights, then light-heavyweights, super-middleweights and junior-lightweights. In one day, there will be six elimination bouts, with the seventh being the final, broken down into five three-minute rounds. Open scoring will ensure fair judging and refereeing and the fighters will be paid round per round based on performance.
WXBC strives to be the most competitive and contemporary boxing promoter in the world, bringing the sport out of the dark ages and making the playing field equal and fair to all fighters, giving them a chance to proudly represent their countries and themselves. One component that is unique to this organization is their humanitarian efforts in their charity division, Fighting For A Better World. Every month, WXBC will choose a charity “to fight for” and ask their sponsors and advertisers to contribute.
WXBC will be launching at the Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines, Iowa on August 29, 2008. Eight fighters from around the globe will converge to exhibit their talents and passion in one galvanizing evening, where over $2,000,000 in cash prizes will be awarded. Fans who are not able to attend an WXBC tournament will be able to watch on pay-per-view as well as high-definition live web stream on www.xbclive.com for $19.95.
