GRIM Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Schaefer announces MASSIVE World Boxing Super Series Tournament with Muhammad Ali Trophy! World Boxing Super Series: New $50m event to 'change boxing world' - organisers A new shootout tournament with 16 of the world's best fighters competing for $50m (£41m) will "change the world of boxing", say those behind the plan. Comosa AG - a new venture involving some of the biggest names in boxing promotion, is behind the event. "It is Comosa's ambition to turn the World Boxing Super Series into the world's biggest and best boxing tournament," said Roberto Dalmiglio, Comosa's head of management board. It could start as early as September. The event will take a shootout format and involve eight fighters in two yet-to-be-decided weight classes. The winners will receive the Muhammad Ali Trophy, named after the former heavyweight world champion who died last year. "The World Boxing Super Series will change the world of boxing," said Dalmiglio. A similar Super Six World Boxing Classic was held between 2009 and 2011. Richard Schaefer, the former Golden Boy promotions chief executive, is among those involved in the venture. "Boxing has really been missing a big tournament like the World Boxing Super Series. Every major sport has one," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mofo2 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I hate these fucking stupid tournaments....the governing bodies should just make the fighters do what they are supposed to do and fight the mandatory/best opposition without the need for this!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
