The benefits of fighting for the American Boxing Organization ABO.
By: ABO Staff
The primary benefits of fighting for the American Boxing Organization (ABO) include providing title opportunities for developing fighters, serving as a potential stepping stone to major boxing careers, and offering guidance for a fruitful life after boxing. The ABO is a smaller, non-profit organization, not one of the four major sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO), and as such, its benefits differ in scope.
Key benefits for a boxer associated with the ABO:
-
Career Advancement and Opportunities: The ABO offers a platform for boxers, especially those who have not yet competed for major world titles, to gain experience and compete for regional, national, and intercontinental titles within the Americas.
-
Stepping Stone: Holding an ABO title can serve as a stepping stone, providing a level of recognition that can lead to more significant fights and opportunities with larger promoters or on major television platforms like Showtime, where some ABO champions have been featured.
-
Experienced Leadership: The organization is unique in having former world champions on its board of directors, which is intended to provide valuable guidance and decision-making from individuals with firsthand experience in the sport.
-
Guidance and Support: A stated goal of the ABO is to help inspire fighters and provide information and resources that can lead to a successful life both during and after their boxing careers.
-
Non-Profit Focus: As a non-profit, the organization aims to prioritize the fighters' well-being and provide opportunities rather than being solely driven by profit motives.
-
National Recognition: The titles offered represent an American championship, which can be highly valued by both the fighters and national audiences.
In essence, the ABO provides a structured pathway for aspiring professional boxers to build their resume and gain recognition, bridging the gap between local circuits and the elite ranks of the major sanctioning bodies.
