The Boxing World Cup was an international boxing event organized by the AIBA, featuring boxers competing in different weight divisions. It was held from 1979 to 1998 as an individual competition and from 2002 to 2006 as a team competition. In 2008, the format returned to individual competition, though the team score was still accounted for.

History

Individual boxers were competing in their weight categories as part of the team competition, with the overall winner decided by the higher number of total wins. Each team represented countries and continents. The number of weight categories differed per Cup. Related type of competition could be considered boxing team duels, often held between countries as part of the final stage of preparation for the IBA World Boxing Championships.

The event took place twelve times, from 1979 to 2008. In 2005, the event took place in Moscow, Russia, and the Russian team won. In the next event was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, and the Cuban team won.

After a new president was elected in the International Boxing Association and the event stopped. It did not take place in 2007. In 2008, it was announced by the boxing organization that the event would continue on, but in a different competition, which will happen once in two years and the following one being in 2008. It would feature the top ranked boxers competing in this event in their weight categories. The place chosen for the event was Moscow.[1]

Competition format

Certain editions of the World Cup, held in the 1990s, saw individual matches of five two-minute rounds.
