The WBC Boxing Grand Prix is being remembered one year after the conclusion of its third stage. This milestone marks the anniversary of a tournament designed to identify and crown the world's top professional boxing talents.

The project was established to fulfill the long-standing vision of Don José Sulaimán. It aimed to create a global professional platform that could elevate the sport on an international scale through a structured tournament format.

This tournament was made possible through a partnership between the WBC and Turki Alalshikh. The collaboration utilized Saudi Arabia as a major venue for the competition, which exceeded the initial expectations of the organizers and provided an unprecedented stage for international boxing.

The third stage of the tournament featured significant results across several weight classes. Competitive action took place in the featherweight, super lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight divisions, marking a major chapter in the competition's history.

The event is viewed as a successful showcase for international boxing. It remains a significant moment in the history of the WBC and the development of professional boxing talent globally, serving as a testament to the impact of global sporting vision.
