Telford International Centre will host an exciting night of elite boxing on Saturday 16th September, as innovative new boxing promotion, The Box Off comes to Telford.

The Box Off will see teams from Manchester, Leeds, London, and Birmingham go head-to-head. The sides will be led by Ricky Hatton, Johnny Nelson, Tom Skinner, and Jaykae respectively.

There will be a hometown fighter on the card, as Telford’s Tanya Ledger makes her pro-debut. Ledger boasts an impressive amateur career, and the England Boxing Women’s Winter Box Cup 2022 winner will look to thrive off the home support as she makes her professional debut on a big stage.

The event will see the four city-based teams compete head-to-head in an exciting knock-out competition, which will pitch some of the country’s best up and coming talent against each other.

The teams will be matched in two semi-finals, deciding which individual fighters will go through to the final. The format will see fighters from London and Birmingham face off in one half of the draw, with fighters from Leeds taking on Manchester in the other.

Fighters will clash over four rounds in the semi-finals in Telford, with the winners of each progressing to box off in the final to see who will be crowned Box Off Champions. Finalists will also earn four points for their team, with the winners in the final stage also gaining a further six points. The team with the highest points total amassed over the two stages will be crowned Box Off team champions.

Captain of Birmingham’s ‘The Tribe’, and rap-star Jaykae, will perform on the night, with fans set to experience a night of non-stop entertainment, both in the ring and out.
