The Best of BOXRAW 2023
It’s already been another great year for both BOXRAW and boxing as a whole, as we continue to rise with the sport.
So, as a busy 2023 draws to a close, we look back on the biggest and most prominent brand moments so far.
Read on for the best of the year and get a glimpse of what else is coming soon.
Gervonta Davis vs Hector Luis Garcia
Kicking off the New Year in typically devastating fashion, Gervonta Davis got the ball rolling just one week into 2023 with another knockout victory.
‘Tank’ defended his lightweight title with a seventh-round stoppage of Hector Luis Garcia and set up a later showdown with rival Ryan Garcia, with BOXRAW backing him all the way to top.
Official Brandun Lee Collection
In February, we dropped our exclusive limited-edition collaboration with rising prospect Brandun Lee – named ‘Death Before Dishonor’.
“I'm a fighter, so I'm going to fight to the death. Like I said before, I'll say it again, Death Before Dishonor,” Lee stated after one of his previous victories when he had to dig deep within himself to prevail.
Lee, now 28-0, had to climb off the canvas for the first time in his career last year before rallying back to earn an impressive unanimous decision victory over Will Madera. The unbeaten light-welterweight will now be pushing on for titles across a promising 2024.
One of the most exciting up and coming young stars in the sport, Lee’s collection was a massive hit with fans and sold out immediately. Watch out for more exclusive collabs coming up in the near future.
Creed III x BOXRAW
The big one. After months of build-up, BOXRAW hit the big screen in the blockbuster boxing movie ‘Creed III’.
Co-produced, directed and starred in by Michael B. Jordan, our training and lifestyle gear was showcased on the movie screen across the biggest grossing sports film in history.
Among the many brand products featured in the movie and worn by MBJ himself, the most prominent and eye-catching for viewers was our highly-anticipated boxing gloves.
Fans got a first glimpse of the awaited gloves in the initial film poster before seeing them put to good use by Adonis Creed during the fight scenes.
From these test samples used in the movie to the real thing, the gloves will be dropping very soon!
As part of the Creed III collaboration, we ran movie premieres for the film at different locations across America and the UK, with esteemed guests including the one and only ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed in our London viewing.
It was great for the brand to share moments with the wider BOXRAW family during these events, as we continue to build towards bigger and better every year. LFG!
Alycia Baumgardner Becomes Undisputed
All of Alycia Baumgardner's hard work and dedication to her craft finally paid off when she successfully claimed the undisputed super-featherweight crown.
Beating Elhem Mekhaled to win all of the titles in her division, she then defended her belts with a maiden defence against Christina Linardatou, with BOXRAW backing her all the way to the top.
Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia
Just four months after dispatching one Garcia, Tank took out another in one of the most illustrious fight nights of the last decade in Las Vegas.
Seizing the moment in style, Davis dropped and stopped Garcia with a brutal body shot inside seven rounds to secure his status as the face of boxing today.

After many requests from BOXRAW followers, Founder and CEO Ben Amanna finally dropped his own YouTube Channel for behind the scenes insights into the company and his busy personal life.

Official TBC Collection & Crawford vs Spence
Ahead of the massive match-up between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr, BOXRAW linked up with the pound-for-pound great for an exclusive collaboration collection.
The TBC rage became another huge success and was showcased across a monumental fight week in Las Vegas, as he sealed his greatness.
Following years of talk, the undisputed showdown between Crawford and Spence Jr finally came to fruition and saw a new pound-for-pound number one crowned.
After an iconic ring walk alongside Eminem, ‘Bud’ took control of the anticipated blockbuster fight in the early stages, before dropping his long-standing rival three times on his way to a dominant ninth-round knockout success.
Crawford became the first undisputed welterweight champion since 2006 and the first male fighter in the four-belt era to claim undisputed status across two weight divisions. Legacy secured.
Sample Sale
Our first-ever in-person event exceeded all of our expectations, as Sample Sale was held at the Red Corner Gym in Coventry.
Seeing so many people travel from all over England, Scotland and Wales to snap up incredible deals on sale meant a lot to us.
Everything was just £5, giving you all the opportunity to get your hands on some discontinued lines, unreleased products and one-off samples.
Due to the success of this event in uniting the BOXRAW community together and all your valued feedback, we will be planning future Sample Sales at other venues down the line. Watch this space for the next event.
Official Amanda Serrano Collection
Amanda Serrano is an all-time great in women’s boxing and made even more history by beating Danila Ramos in the first 12-round women’s world title fight since 2007 in Florida.
Before her famous victory, she linked up with BOXRAW to launch her own official collaboration collection with the 'Greatness Requires Sacrifice' range.
Designed alongside the seven-division world champion, Serrano has already secured herself as a legend in the ring.
Boxing Bags and Rings Launch
BOXRAW are here to change the game and we continued to revolutionise the boxing market with even more innovation for fighters.
This included launching our brand new range of Boxing Rings and Punch Bags, which are available online now.
After years of relentless research and development in the tireless pursuit of perfection, our innovative equipment is continuing to shake-up the boxing landscape.
Boxing Glove-Sweats Launch
As well as our bags and rings, we also dropped our new Glove-Sweats. A simple game-changer for everyone doing gloved workouts at the gym.
Covering your laces, giving you the much-needed option to wipe your sweat and compress your wrists, our latest innovation for boxing training is a simple tool that solves problems you never knew you had.
Boxing Gym Competition
Following the launch of our new range of rings and bags, we gave followers of the brand a massive chance to win an overhaul of their gym worth $17,000, as well as others securing ‘We Don’t Play Boxing’ banners.
The competition was met with a huge response and the eventual winner of the main prize is soon to be announced.
