Save the Date: November 8 to 13, 2026!
The World Boxing Council is proud to announce that the most important and anticipated event in global boxing returns to an idyllic setting: the majestic Mundo Imperial Complex in the beautiful city of Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico.
From November 8 to 13, 2026, the Pearl of the Pacific will once again transform into the absolute epicenter of the sport of boxing, welcoming hundreds of delegates, ring legends, and members of the international boxing family to celebrate the 64th WBC Annual Convention.
Acapulco already knows what it means to make history. In 2022, Mundo Imperial hosted one of the most emotional and spectacular conventions in modern memory. At that unforgettable gathering, the Guerrero sun witnessed the meeting of dozens of current champions and legends of the past, executives from every continent, and a fan base completely devoted to the sport.
Today, four years later, the WBC returns home to surpass that benchmark and offer an even more impactful experience, reinforcing the historic commitment that the organization holds toward the revitalization, development, and greatness of Acapulco.
Beyond the spotlights of big fight nights, the WBC Annual Convention represents the summit where the future of this discipline is decided and shaped. It is a unique and inclusive forum where promoters, managers, boxers, doctors, referees, judges, media, and passionate fans from all over the globe connect with a single voice to make boxing a safer, fairer, and more spectacular sport.
During this intense week of work and fraternity, the WBC agenda will address the most crucial pillars of the industry:
Mandatory Bouts Session: The moment of highest anticipation, open to the public and in the presence of the Board of Governors, where official fights are negotiated face-to-face and the destinies of world championships are defined.
Ratings Committee: The meticulous review and update of the global rankings to make way for rising prospects and marquee contenders.
Training and Innovation: Refereeing and judging seminars open to anyone wishing to deepen their technical knowledge, as well as presentations on the latest medical, nutritional, and technological advancements applied to fighter protection.
Fairness and Transparency: Review of controversial decisions and case analyses utilizing video replay tools and safety protocols.
Networking and Contact Network: An open platform to join independent projects, develop community initiatives, and build alliances under the endorsement of the WBC.
Gala Night and Awards Ceremony: The traditional presentation of honors to the Best of the Year, paying tribute to the most outstanding figures in the boxing industry.
The 64th WBC Annual Convention will not merely be a work meeting; it will be a festival filled with social, charitable, sports, and cultural activities where every attendee will feel like part of the great boxing family.
