ULTIMATE BOXXER PARTNERS WITH SPORTBIBLE TO BRING EXCITING TOURNAMENT TO MILLIONS OF FANS

London (25 October 2018) As the excitement builds towards Ultimate Boxxer II on Friday 2nd November at the Indigo at the O2, Ultimate Boxer are thrilled to announce that one of the world’s largest Facebook pages, SPORTbible, will broadcast the event LIVE to millions of fans.

The innovative partnership brings together Ultimate Boxer’s pioneering approach to implement leading digital brands to provide a transformed boxing experience for the next generation of boxing fans.

Ultimate Boxxer features 8 pro fighters who will go head-to- head in a 3×3 minute round format, all competing for their share of £50,000 prize money and the second golden robe.

The spotlight turns to the light-heavyweight division, with eight highly rated British boxers squaring off to achieve their career changing or defining moment.

Boxing legends Paulie Malignaggi, Ricky Hatton and Anthony Crolla will play their part in a star-studded team that also included Chris Eubank Snr last time out.

DJ Charlie Sloth returns to entertain the London crowd alongside many special guests.

Love Island’s own Idris Virgo makes his return to the ring following his search for love on the reality TV show this summer.
