Adding even more incentive, ABP ambassador Kevin Lerena announced that the promotion is once again rewarding fighters who deliver spectacular finishes. “We want to pay out essentially R240 000 in bonuses for whoever wins in round one. We’re not afraid to do that to enrich fighters and their teams, because boxing is a very hard sport.”

The knockout bonus, first introduced during the inaugural Knockout Chaos event earlier this year, rewards stoppage victories, with a maximum bonus of R30 000 for a first-round knockout. The prize money decreases with each successive round. “We’re trying our best to put on exciting matchups that drive content, drive viewership, and keep the shows thrilling.
