The majestic Ho Chi Minh City will be the Asian boxing capital from August 9th to 11th, as delegates and representatives from the boxing industry in the region gather at the New World Saigon Hotel in the Vietnamese capital to celebrate the WBA Asia Convention.

This will be the first time Vietnam hosts such a high-level professional boxing event, thanks to the initiative of WBA Asia and the support of the Vietnam Boxing Commission.

This milestone marks a turning point in the history of professional boxing in Vietnam. Shadow Entertainment has joined this effort to provide a platform for professional boxing communities across the region to exchange ideas and foster development for the sport.

The agenda prepared by WBA Asia will offer attendees the opportunity to learn about development projects for Asia crafted by the regional body of WBA, as well as training sessions for officials and a boxing card featuring several regional titles and the debut of an innovative tournament for emerging talents.
