The Box Off will see four teams from Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and London compete head-to-head in a knock-out competition held at Telford International Centre on September 16, which will pitch some of the country's best up and coming talent against each other.
"These lads who will be fighting in The Box Off would probably not get the opportunity to fight on a big stage, not many fighters do. "If I can bring through a talent from Manchester who no-one would have known otherwise, as a Mancunian, would be a very proud moment for me."It will see several weight divisions with men and women competing for each team.
The Leeds team, also known as 'The Armoury', includes captain Johnny Nelson, Bree Wright, women welterweight, Levi Smith, men super-featherweight, Jake Goodwin, men light-middleweight, Richard Popham, men middleweight, and Daryl Sharp, men light-heavyweight.
