History
The first two editions and the original format. 2005-2007
The first two events took place in 2005 and 2006.
Individual boxers were competing in their weight categories as part of the team competition, with the overall winner decided by the higher number of total wins. Teams represented countries or continents. Number of weight categories differed per Cup. Related type of competition could be considered Boxing Team Duels, often held between countries as part of the final stage of preparation for the
World Amateur Boxing Championships.
The event took place only twice, in 2005 and 2006. In the
2005 event that took place in
Moscow,
Russia, the
Russian team won. In the next edition that took place in
Baku,
Kazakhstan, the
Cuban team won.
After a new head was elected in the
International Boxing Association the event stopped. It didn't take place in 2007.
Revival and fresh start. 2008-Present
In 2008, it was announced that the event will live, but in a different format. It was announced it will be an event happening once in two years, and the following one being 2008. If before that the competition was between teams, now it will be between the top ranked boxers in their weight categories. The winning country will be the one who took more medals then any other one, without any group stages like before.
