More than 110 boxers from over 20 countries are expected to take part in the four-day tournament which is the culmination of the World Boxing Cup series for 2024 and follows events earlier this year in Sheffield (January), Colorado (April) and Ulaanbattar in Mongolia (September).
The action, which will take place across seven men’s weight categories and six for women, will feature strong home nation interest as up to 20 boxers from Great Britain’s Olympic programme are expected to compete as they begin the journey towards the next Games in Los Angeles 2028.
Two members of the GB Boxing squad that will be looking to be crowned World Boxing Cup Champion for 2024 are lightweight (60kg), Elise Glynn from Birmingham, and flyweight (50kg) Savannah Stubley, from Blythe in the north east.
Elise Glynn said: “I am really looking forward to competing again at home as it is not something we get to do that often as part of the GB Boxing squad. We had the tournament in Sheffield back in January when I got silver, so now I need to change the colour and get that gold.”
Savannah Stubley added: “I am excited to compete at the World Boxing Cup because I will have a lot of support behind me when I am boxing. I went to the last one and won gold so hopefully, fingers crossed, I can do the same this time.”
They will be joined by squad-mate Cameron McKay from London, who will be competing at light-welterweight (63.5kg) in his first World Boxing Cup event of the year after recovering from a hand injury.
McKay said: “My preparation has been good. I did have to take some time off with injury after winning my last tournament in April but the build up to this has given me the chance to work on some different skills and get back fit, so I am looking forward to showcasing it.
“I think the UK has the best crowds in any sport, so I am expecting the crowd to be very loud and very supportive.”
The World Boxing Cup is a new international boxing format developed by World Boxing, the international federation which has been established to ensure boxing remains at the heart of the Olympic Movement.
The World Boxing Cup Finals 2024 will be delivered by England Boxing in association with World Boxing and GB Boxing and is supported by the National Lottery and Sheffield City Council.
