World Series of Boxing is pleased to announce that both the WSB
Team Finals and Individual Championships will be held in London, at
the ExCeL, the venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
WSB originally planned to hold these two events in China. However,
the International Boxing Association (AIBA) decided to promote its
new groundbreaking initiative, the AIBA Professional Boxing (APB)
program, by showcasing its WSB competitions in the heart of
upcoming Olympic City.
"With these WSB Finals being the pinnacle of the season, we
decided to bring this fantastic show to the city whose heart will
be beating for boxing in just a couple of months time. Great
Britain is one of the hubs of the sport and we are convinced that
fans from all around the country will come to to the ExCeL to
witness the best Olympic boxers competing in a pro format. We will
also be unveiling the latest plans with regards to AIBA
Professional Boxing. We look forward to seeing you all there",
stated Dr. Ching-Kuo Wu, AIBA President and WSB Board
Chairman.
The WSB Team Final will be held on Wednesday 2 May and the
Individual Championships will be held on Saturday 9 June.
