According to information from the International Boxing Association (IBA), the World Women's Boxing Championship 2025 took place in early March in Serbia. The tournament has 12 weight classes for women, from 48kg to +81kg. In addition to the preliminary information, IBA has issued the tournament charter, with many detailed regulations.
One of the rules applied at the World Women's Boxing Championship 2025 is that IBA requires athletes to wear a helmet. Earlier, in the tournament held by IBA at the end of 2024, female boxers aged 19-40 did not wear a hat. But after further considering the health of the athletes, IBA made the same rules.
Here are some basic regulations of IBA for the World Women's Boxing Championship 2025:
– Applying a branched draw mechanism in seeds, based on IBA's international rankings.
– Bout review is applied.
– All weight classes use 10 ounce gloves
– Automatic and random branching draws by computer
– Competition to the end of the quarterfinals
– The matches are run by the referee and 3 -star assessment of IBA
The boxer participating in the competition and reaching the top 5 will have a bonus: gold medal receiving USD 100,000, the gold medal receives $ 50,000, bronze medal (2 boxers lost to the semi -finals) receiving $ 25,000, the 5 -ranked boxer receives $ 10,000. With this regulation, the fighters losing in the quarterfinals will be considered as the final rank.
The total bonus of the World Women's Boxing Championship 2025 is US $ 2.88 million. However, boxers who have “draw medals” will not receive bonuses. In order to avoid this situation, IBA requires martial artists to win at least 1 match to meet the conditions for receiving bonuses from the organizers.
Martial artists who receive “draw medals” often take place in some weight classes with less than 8 athletes registered to play. With the knockout format, each weight of less than 8 athletes competes will have at least 1 person in the semi -finals, thereby certainly receiving bronze medal. IBA's regulations have minimized this case.
