The money prize event, the Governor Cup will be held in St. Petersburg in April 18-26

The AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships will be one of the highlights in the month of April but for the elite boxers the Governor Cup is also an important international tournament.

The champions and medallists are awarded with medals and money prizes in the Governor Cup in St. Petersburg. The teams are accommodated in the Hotel Park Krestovsky while the competition venue is the Sibur Arena. Elite male boxers can compete in 10 weight categories and those who were born between 1981 and 2002 are eligible to attend in the Governor Cup.

Belarus’ best boxer Dzmitry Asanau defeated Cuba’s three-time AIBA World Champion Lazaro Alvarez in a superb final in the last 2019 edition of the Governor Cup before Armenia’s Hovhannes Bachkov won the gold at the light welterweight (64kg) in another amazing fight.
