ISCA INTERCLUB. ALL CLUBS WELCOME

📆 Sunday 20th September 2026
🕣Weigh In 1pm. First Bout 2pm
📍Combat Sports Centre, Vulcan Rd, Solihull B91 2JY

Sport Boxing and K1. Suitable for all levels (K1 all ages. Sport Boxing 18yrs+)

This event provides the opportunity for absolute novices to gain invaluable ring experience before competing on a show or open tournament. Those with previous experience are also encouraged to enter as an effective means of ‘ticking over’ between bouts.

Although some bouts will be scored on the day, the majority will be exhibition bouts (similar to a Skills Bout in amateur boxing). There is no incentive to be aggressive or try and KO your opponent. The emphasis is purely an exhibition of skills. It is often described as a means of ‘bridging the gap’ between club sparring and open competition.

Registration deadline 9pm Thursday 17th September
