Cycle I, Round 2 will produce 40 bouts across all ten weight categories, as the boxers in the top tier of competition will compete to earn a quota place for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, while also competing for the opportunity to fight their respective APB Champions in World Title Matches in September 2015.

Therefore, the Round 2 matches of Cycle I will be Olympic Qualifying Events, and will determine the contender for each of the APB World Titles.

Through APB, we are providing every boxer with the opportunity to cultivate a transparent professional career in boxing while also maintaining their eligibility for Olympic competition, and Round 2 will signify this perfectly when ten boxers qualify for Rio 2016 in an APB ring,” said AIBA President Dr Ching Kuo-Wu.
