We will have the opportunity to witness the world’s two best teams – the invincible Cuba Domadores, defending champions, and the powerful Astana Arlans Kazakhstan – go head to head in Astana. I am confident that these two nights will produce an incredible show of pure boxing action in a country known for its genuine passion for the noble art”, said WSB CEO Karim Bouzidi.
