Boxing World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boxing World Cup, also sometimes credited as AIBA World Cup, is the international team event in boxing, similar to Davis Cup in tennis. Individual boxers are competing in their weight categories as part of the team bout, overall winner decided by the higher number of total wins. Teams represent countries or continents. Number of weight categories differs 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 World Amateur Boxing Championships.
