A host of the biggest names in boxing and entertainment have been confirmed for the glamorous Opening Ceremony ahead of the IBA 2025 Men’s World Boxing Championships, hosted at the iconic Dubai Tennis Stadium from December 2nd. 

Among the star-studded line-up, which features prominent figures from across the sporting landscape, features a one-of-a-kind performance by legendary four-weight world champion, Roy Jones Jr, with the boxing icon set to deliver a performance created especially to commemorate the historic championships.

Also featured as part of the evening’s entertainment is a special performance by Italian vocal sensation Benedetta Caretta, whose unique voice and presence will take the audience to another level.

With further announcements expected in the coming weeks, the IBA’s inaugural ‘Festival of Boxing’ between December 2-13 is poised to create a lifetime of memories across the world of sports, culture and entertainment.

The 2025 Men’s World Boxing Championships will see the world’s top international talent, from more than 95 National Federations, descend on the glitzy city of Dubai in a bid to claim a portion of the historic $8.32m prize-pool.

With IBA President Umar Kremlev, host of the two-week extravaganza, doubling down on his intent to breathe life into every level of boxing, the 2025 Men’s World Boxing Championships will be the richest in the sport’s history.

Furthermore, the penultimate day of the ‘Festival of Boxing’ will see Russian star Murat Gassiev challenge Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev for the WBA World Heavyweight Championship – further underlining the IBA’s commitment to investing from the grassroots of amateur boxing to the richest prize in the professional code.
