Amateur boxing is finding a fresh new way to grab people’s attention. Now, content creators are stepping into the ring, and it’s a huge hit. In Latin America, the big name everyone’s talking about is Supernova Strikers. It’s a spectacular show that mixes sports, fun, and going viral online.
The very first event happened on August 17, and it landed a direct punch on the internet. This huge show brought together influencers, streamers, and other digital creators. They all competed in amateur boxing matches. The World Boxing Council (WBC) even supervised the whole thing.
Unlike professional boxing, this event is all about the show. Internet stars train for months. Then they step into the boxing ring to prove they can fight too. Sure, there’s money and fame involved. But these matches are just for exhibition. They are controlled carefully so no one gets seriously hurt.
Supernova Strikers gets its power from talent agencies and production companies that work with digital creators. They partner with the WBC, which gives the event real credibility and a professional feel. The goal is super clear: make boxing cool and popular with younger generations.
