High Stakes is the world’s first influencer boxing tournament, taking place over three events, and featuring the industry’s biggest names. With a combined following of 210,000,000 followers, 8 men and 8 women will battle it out in their respective tournaments to find out who the best in the weight class is. With only one winner, the fighter to be crowned champion will be one of the biggest draws in the scene.

The Tournament consists of 8 fighters, each fighting 3 times over the 3 events. The tournament operates on a knockout system with an additional bonus prize awarded to the most dangerous fighter – “The KO King”

The High Stakes Tournament will be split into three events as follows:

1. Quarter Finals – 22nd of April 2023 – OVO Arena Wembley, London, UK
2. Semi Finals – 3rd of June 2023 – Three Arena, Dublin, Ireland
3. Finals – 5th of August 2023 – The 02 Arena, London, UK

The tournament is structured so all tournament fighters will compete in all three events. The winners will fight the winners whilst the losers will fight the losers. During the final on the 5th of August 2023 fighters will be competing for the final tournament standings.
