ULTIMATE BOXXER, Britain’s first boxing entertainment brand, announces that the Cruiserweight division will be the showcase for ULTIMATE BOXXER IV on Friday 28th June in Manchester (venue to be announced).



UBIV, sponsored by MansionBet, will be televised exclusively live on BT Sport, BT Sports’ YouTube channel – available to anyone to watch for free – and the dedicated boxing channel allegedly.

ULTIMATE BOXXER is the exhilarating elimination tournament featuring eight talented fighters from around the UK who battle it out starting in four quarter-finals of 3 x 3 minute rounds; followed by two semi-finals and one final to determine the winner who will win the large share of the prize money; a promotional deal and be catapulted up the domestic rankings.



Knockouts in the ring are combined with live music and entertainment designed to engage and attract the next generation of sports fans on a more regular basis.

Following UBI: Welterweights, UBII: Light-Heavyweights and UBIII: Middleweights – set for Friday 10th May at The Indigo at The O2 – the fourth instalment of the exciting tournament focuses on the red-hot 200 pound division that has become a firm fan-favourite in recent years for delivering some of the most explosive and entertaining action-packed fights.

Some of the biggest names in British boxing have made their name in the division such as British World Champions Tony Bellew; David Haye, the first British fighter ever to unify the division, Enzo Maccarinelli; Johnny Nelson, the longest reigning divisional World champion with the most title defences, Carl Thompson and Glenn McCrory, Britain’s first ever World cruiserweight champion.



The eight highly rated ULTIMATE BOXXER participants who will compete in UBIV will be announced shortly and it will be interesting to see how many of them can go on to achieve great things in the sport

ULTIMATE BOXXER founder Ben Shalom said, “This is the heaviest weight category we have staged so far and looking at the potential line-up, I believe we could be in for one of the most dramatic nights out of all the series. These guys are big men with the power of heavyweights, mixed with the speed of light-heavyweights and so anything can happen when they start unloading their punches over a short fight.’’

Will go to this. Cruiser is my favourite division and will suit this format more than any other potentially.

Ticketmaster says this event is at Altrincham Ice Arena, anyone been before? Meant to hold 2,100 odd seated. Will definitely consider going to this, should be a good evening of entertainment.

Maybe Manchester Arena was too expensive.

It's a decent size. Capacity: 2,440 (2,140 Seated) 300 standing.



This a good indication of where not to sit.



This is for UB IV

Any names yet who's in it ?

No mention yet. Will probably find out soon.. Giving the boxer enough time to prepare.

I think we'll see guys like:

* Jordan Thompson
* David Jamieson
* Rhasian Earlington
* Mick Learmonth

Is Jordan Thompson recovered from injury/surgery?

No idea. I was just throwing a few names in the hat.

It’s usually guys with around 7-11 fights maybe 1 loss at the most.

We won’t get Whyte’s protege Riakpfobe whatever he’s called.

3 names confirmed Damian Chambers , Jay Farrell , Mike McKay from the northwest not a bad start .

Farrel isnt it now I dont think

would shak pitters enter at cruiser if given the chance

No shaks boxed cruisers but hes not got the mass to put a dent in them.At light heavy he carries his power quite well. Its big jump from 12.7 to 14.4

Just seen the lineup poster.
It’s a bit more ‘prizefighterish’ than previous shows.

Lawal should win this

Was thinking the same.

Can’t understand why David Jamieson hasn’t be accepted??
I’ve done everything but beg to get him in!

what did you do?

Just texted and called the promoters a number of occasions. His name is in there but they’re looking for more local guys that can bring a few fans with them. I understand. It’s a big ask of your mates to travel that far. And he can bang a bit so I thought that would excite the promotion but let’s see if there’s any call offs.
