WBA Mexican Boxing Tournament Wraps in Mexico City
The WBA Future of Mexican Boxing opened in Mexico City on October 26, 2024, with nearly 30 amateur bouts and more than 60 fighters. The tournament later concluded on December 8 after more than 150 bouts across a series of dates, bringing together Mexican talent of different ages for competition and development.
A showcase for amateur talent
The opening day put a large field of competitors in the ring and gave emerging boxers a chance to gain experience in a structured event. The WBA described the program as part of its broader effort to create development opportunities for fighters. Its initial report highlighted the turnout and volume of action, but did not publish a bout-by-bout results sheet or name individual champions.
From opening day to the final
The opening article listed November 9, 16 and 23 as upcoming dates, with the final scheduled for December 8. The event proceeded through those stages and wrapped up in Mexico City on December 8. The WBA’s closing report said the tournament featured more than 150 amateur bouts and included a final day for the leading competitors.
Sport Boxing MX and Decisión Dividida organized the event with Ricardo Chew, according to the WBA. The format emphasized participation and development, rather than a single professional title fight. That distinction matters: the available WBA recap describes the tournament’s scale and purpose but does not identify a definitive overall winner or publish a complete set of individual bout results.
Why the event mattered
For young and developing boxers, repeated amateur competition can provide ring time, sharpen fundamentals and expose them to different styles. A multi-date tournament also gives organizers a way to keep athletes active over several weeks. The WBA framed the Mexico City series as one part of its effort to support boxing development in the region.
It began with dozens of fighters and nearly 30 bouts, then closed in December after a program that the WBA counted at more than 150 amateur contests. The tournament’s lasting measure will be the opportunities and experience it gave its participants.
