Now rich of 78 member federations, World Boxing is gaining momentum. To show its seriousness and convince the IOC to choose it as the body in charge of Olympic boxing, the international federation concluded "a long-term exclusive agreement" with Exceed Boxing to manage and monetize its events and commercial rights. This deal "will significantly improve the work we do to gain IOC recognition", rejoices the president of World Boxing, Boris van der Vorst, who sees it "a sign of confidence in our organization and in our plans". The commercial company will work around competitions, broadcast rights, partnerships, ticketing, merchandise and gaming. World Boxing will retain exclusive rights to sell certain specific assets. “Our mission is to revolutionize the sport, delivering world-class experiences to boxers and fans around the world, announces Danny Menken, co-founder of Exceed Boxing. Through our long-term partnership with World Boxing, we are committed to increase business success of sport while keeping the passion of the fans and the integrity of the athletes at the heart of everything we do. This collaboration marks the beginning of a new era for Olympic boxing, an era that prioritizes innovation, accessibility and global growth.” Exced Boxing becomes the third major commercial partner of the federation after Sting and Nike Boxing.
