The registrations for this championship began on February 1st and were closed on March 15th. Hyped by the impressive 13,000 signees they’ve received, Roy Jones Jr. jotted down his expectations from the tournament in a post.

On Instagram, the 55-year-old boxing legend posted an image of him wearing a black hoodie with the official logo of the event. In captions, he wrote, “13,000 people applied to the HELL Boxing King championship to show what they can do in the ring! Huge competitions are about to begin, where only the best ones can survive at the end!” He also updated that the casting for the awaited set of showdowns is underway.

The international competition will select the most worthy and talented individuals from 10 countries who will face off in 4 weight divisions for the “HELL Boxing Kings Championship” belts. For this year’s tournament, the countries from where participants are accepted include Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, and Azerbaijan.

As per their press release, applicants can showcase their boxing prowess during the casting process in their respective countries. The ones selected among them will undertake elimination bouts in June. Come November, in the live-streamed semifinals, they will prove themselves to reach the finals. The final will take place in Hungary in December 2024. The crescendo will feature other star guests and their main patron, Roy Jones Jr.

Interestingly, during the semi-finals, celebrity participants are also expected to enter the ring in three weight classes. These stars will be selected from the participating countries and will have a $100,000 grand prize in addition to the HELL Boxing Kings title. The winners of each weight class will receive $100,000. Additionally, they will be furnished with a professional contract opportunity from HELL ENERGY Promotions.

The semi-finals, finals, and middle rounds will be streamed live on the HELL Boxing Kings YouTube channel and their social media platforms.

The unique event is unlike how traditional boxing trajectories work. Generally, boxers train from a young age and then participate in amateur bouts to later transition into professional boxing. Under the HELL Championship, athletes without professional boxing training can also enter the sport purely in an effort to boost their boxing acumen.
