Ultimate Boxxer 2020 is here! Live in Manchester this April, the latest instalment of one night elimination boxing is showcasing the ultra-competitive Super-Middleweight division for the first time.
It follows their sold out show in December, with a UB6 Heavyweights tournament that saw Nick Webb crowned the winner on a thrilling night of action.
The 168 pound category has been one of the most successful in British boxing. It’s produced some of the sport’s greats, and epic fights with the likes of World Champions Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins, Carl Froch, James DeGale, George Groves, and Joe Calzaghe, arguably the best boxer this country has produced.
UB7, held at Planet Ice Arena, Altrincham, will see eight up-and-coming contenders from around the UK battle it out, starting in four quarter-finals of 3 x 3 minute rounds, followed by two semi-finals before one grand final to determine who will be crowned the Ultimate Boxxer and take their lion’s share of the prize money.
And while the main action will take place inside the ring, there will be a knockout line-up of entertainment and live music, too.
The star-studded presenting team on the night will include Ultimate Boxxer ambassadors Paulie Malignaggi and Anthony Crolla, plus TV presenter Layla Anna-Lee and Love Island’s Jack Fincham.
Boxing fans won’t want to miss this.
Ultimate Boxxer 7 will take place on Friday 3rd April at the Planet Ice Arena, Altrincham, and be broadcast live on BT Sport and BT Sport Youtube. Tickets will go on pre-sale exclusively to UB Fan Club Members first from 9am on Thursday 6th February, with prices starting from £12.50. Tickets will be limited within the pre-sale period. Sign up to the UB Fan Club to be in the pre-sale and save up to 50% off tickets for UB7 and all their 2020 shows.
