Phase one of the Riyadh Season WBC Boxing Grand Prix was held from April 17th to 20th, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
128 boxers from across the globe travelled to the Middle East with the resolute intention of achieving fame and glory.
The event represented the realisation of a long-held aspiration of the WBC's Great Lifetime President Don José Sulaimán, which was ultimately brought to fruition through the support of Riyadh Season and His Excellency, Turki Alalshikh.
Phase one of the WBC Riyadh Season Grand Prix was a landmark occasion. 64 world-class bouts were contested across the featherweight, super lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight divisions, whittling the competitors down to 64.
Its innovative format, the assembly of exceptional international talent, and the unprecedented platform it provided for the future stars of boxing established it as a historic event.
The world’s attention now turns to the upcoming matches, scheduled for June 20th and 21st, 2025. These coming days will determine the fighters who will advance to the next stage of this thrilling tournament.
Eight winners will advance to the quarter-finals stage, with the semis and the final planned for later this year.
