April 18th, 2025 / IBA.Pro

A brand-new approach to professional boxing has been revealed – an innovative boxing league IBA.Pro has been launched with a first event taking place in Moscow at the end of January, which marked the beginning of a new era.

With a clear mission to redefine the professional boxing landscape through innovation, mutual respect, and integrity, IBA.Pro is going to embrace the very best talents – renowned boxers and strong prospects – directly under one umbrella. The professional league is unlocking new opportunities along with raising the bar internationally by introducing new standards across the industry.

Clear and transparent rules, a safe environment and long-term career development are the cornerstones of the IBA.Pro concept, which is aimed to revolutionise the industry of professional boxing. The first show in Moscow has already attracted a lot of attention and inspired many boxers worldwide to sign up for a new exciting endeavour.

IBA.Pro Director Al Siesta stressed that the organization’s vision is to “create a global platform” that delivers world-class entertainment but also fosters trust, opportunity, and respect for the boxers.

‘We aim to make a difference in professional boxing and stand out, while offering a clear path to the top through our events and transparent ranking system. Our uniqueness is in the overall approach where we deliver an experience for both boxers and fans, and through our innovative vision we expand boxing to a new level,’ Al Siesta said.

With the upcoming show IBA.Pro 2.0 scheduled to take place tonight, on 18 April in Chelyabinsk, Russia, the new boxing product aims to make a statement in the international arena with world-class events, prestigious titles and uncompromised rivalry.

You can watch IBA.Pro 2.0 live from Chelyabinsk tonight on IBA YouTube Channel from 8 p.m. (GMT+5).
