Kazakhstan's Federation Cup boxing tournament to return with $150,000 at stake
Kazakhstan plans to bring back the team boxing tournament Federation Cup, Kazinform News Agency quotes Shakhmurat Mutalip, the President of the Kazakhstan Boxing Federation, as saying.
He noted that the tournament is set to begin in September and will run for three months, with a total prize pool of $150,000.
The winning team will take home $80,000, while the runners-up will receive $40,000. The third place winners will earn $20,000, and the fourth-place team will be awarded $10,000.
"At the last Spartakiad, only four regions managed to field full teams, and some did not participate at all. Bringing back the Federation Cup will help boost regional involvement and build a stronger talent pool for the national team," said Shakhmurat Mutalip.
The Federation expects that holding the tournament will help find promising athletes and boost competition among athletes.
Earlier, it was announced that Kazakhstan’s Janibek Alimkhanuly had been ranked among the world’s top 20 boxers.
