De Eindhoven Box Cup, het grootste olympische boksevenement van de BeNeLux, zal dit jaar
van vrijdag 3 juni tot en met maandag 6 juni 2022 plaatsvinden in het Van der Valk Hotel in
Eindhoven.
In 2021 werd Jack’s Casino & Sports hoofdsponsor van het prestigieuze event. Echter deelde het
coronavirus toen de knock-out uit, waardoor De Eindhoven Box Cup voor het tweede jaar op rij moest
worden verplaatst. Nu hangt de vlag er gelukkig heel anders bij en kunnen fans zich eindelijk opmaken
voor de vijfde editie. Naast de eerdere steun van Van der Valk en de gemeente Eindhoven, is het Jack’s
Casino & Sports die als hoofdsponsor doorgang van het toernooi mogelijk maakt.
Dankzij Jack’s geen knock-out
Jack’s Casino & Sports leek vorig jaar lange tijd ‘de reddende engel van het evenement te worden’, zoals
organisator Jeremie Besson de situatie destijds omschreef. Een deal met de nieuwe hoofdsponsor stelde
de organisatie aanvankelijk in staat om het event in 2021 alsnog door te laten gaan. Het coronavirus
gooide echter roet in het eten.
Nu het event in 2022 wél door kan gaan hebben de fans iets om naar uit te kijken. “Bij Jack’s Casino &
Sports dragen we sport een bijzonder warm hart toe. Dit blijkt ook uit onze partnerships met onder andere
Jack’s Racing Day, PDC en ambassadeurs Rafael van der Vaart, Robert Doornbos en Jack van Gelder.
Daarnaast zijn we geen onbekende in de vechtsport. Zo zijn we ook partner van GLORY events met
headliners Rico Verhoeven, Badr Hari en Jamal Ben Saddik. Daarbij zijn we al jaren actief in de regio
Eindhoven en past dit evenement bij uitstek bij de Brabantse roots van ons bedrijf. Ook wij waren natuurlijk
teleurgesteld toen de editie van vorig jaar niet door kon gaan, maar we lieten ons niet uit het veld slaan.
Het is fantastisch dat vechtsportliefhebbers weer een mooi evenement in het vooruitzicht hebben en dat
wij eindelijk onze officiële opwachting kunnen maken als hoofdsponsor.” Aldus Eric Olders, CEO van Jack’s
Casino & Sports.
200 boksers uit 30 landen
Aan de Eindhoven Box Cup doen meer dan 200 boksers mee uit ruim 30 landen, waaronder België,
Duitsland, Ierland, Engeland, Thailand en Sri Lanka. Deelnemers zijn onder anderen Dean Walsh, Jack
Oliphant, Nigel Paul, Olexandr Melenyuk en Amy Broadhurst. Ook de gehele Nederlandse selectie is
aanwezig in Hotel Van der Valk in Eindhoven, net als voorgaande jaren het decor van dit evenement. Het
toernooi heeft de A-status van wereldorganisatie IBA (International Boxing Association) en geldt als het
beste boks-toernooi van West-Europa. Alle wedstrijden worden online live uitgezonden en trekken
wereldwijd honderdduizenden kijkers.

Eindhoven – We regret to inform you that the organization committee of the Eindhoven Box Cup has decided to postpone the Eindhoven Box Cup.
The Netherlands is in the midst of a 3rdcorona wave and we’re currently having the highest number of daily infections since this year. Therefore a high number of countries are having travel restrictions to and from the Netherlands, resulting in a very much thinned down field of expected participants.
The organization committee feels it cannot deliver the quality of the tournament as in previous years and therefore we have decided it is for the better to not go through with the planned event in May. This has also been communicated to the EUBC Office.
Exact new date is to be confirmed, but will certainly not be before the Olympics.
Hope to host you in our next event.
Eindhoven
Dear Boxing Friends,
We regret to inform you that the organisation committee of the Eindhoven Box Cup has decided to cancel the Eindhoven Box Cup for the year 2020 due to the rapidly changing situation around the corona virus.
The organisation committee feels it cannot guarantee the safe-being of its participants, officials and spectators in the current environment. Therefore, after consultation of the Dutch Boxing Association, Medical Experts and Local Authority we have decided the risks in organizing a multinational sporting event in these times of uncertainty are to great.
Hope you all stay healthy and we can host you at the Eindhoven Box Cup 2021 from 20 – 24 May 2021.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Eindhoven – The Eindhoven Box Cup is one of the most developing elite competitions in the European continent which was held in the Netherlands in the recent days. Netherlands’ biggest star Rio 2016 Olympic Games silver medallist and EUBC European Women’s Champion Nouchka Fontijn dominated her fights in Eindhoven.
Mr. Jeremie Besson is the engine of the strong development and promotion of the Eindhoven Box Cup which was a great success in 2018 as well. Seven women and twelve men champions have been crowned in the new edition of the Eindhoven Box Cup where the friendly environment and the excellent atmosphere is always guaranteed.
Netherlands’ port Rotterdam hosted the 2013 edition of the EUBC European Confederation Youth Boxing Championships where the career of several our current elite stars have begun. The current Eindhoven Box Cup was preparation event for the upcoming European Union Boxing Championships and the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships.
France’s lone gold medal in the whole Eindhoven Box Cup was delivered by 19-year-old Gloria D’Almeida who had a successful youth career and she continued her strong international results among the elite boxers as well. D’Almeida, who was born in Togo, defeated Russia’s National Champion Ekaterina Pinigina in the final of the women’s light flyweight (48kg) which was a surprise in the event.
Netherlands’ Jemyma Betrian has been preparing to the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships where she will be making her debut in that level. The new Dutch featherweight (57kg) hope eliminated Russia’s European Games bronze medallist Saiana Sagataeva and Belgium’s Bianca Ciccarelli during her road to the title.
Switzerland’s veteran Sandra Brugger used up all of her experiences in the final of the lightweight (60kg) and she was able to beat France’s EUBC European Women’s Youth Champion 19-year-old Fatia Benmessahel. Denmark’s No.1 Yvonne Baek Rasmussen won her next title and defeated Netherlands’ best boxers at the light welterweight (64kg) such as Myrea Van den Ijssel and EUBC European Women’s Youth Champion Chelsey Heijnen.
Netherlands’ and Europe’s best female boxer Nouchka Fontijn attended at the light heavyweight (81kg) in the Eindhoven Box Cup not in her regular middleweight (75kg). The Rio 2016 Olympic Games silver medallist Dutch star demonstrated her power against Russian opponents such as Liubov Yusupova and Anna Gladkikh and as expected she won her bouts by large margin of differences.
The first gold medal in the men’s part of the Eindhoven Box Cup was achieved by England’s Hamza Mahmood who defeated Mongolia’s Gandulam Mungun-Erdene in the final of the flyweight (52kg). England’s second title was taken by a newcomer in the international stage George Davey who triumphed over Netherlands’ young hope Sammy Wagensveld.
A developing European boxing nation Belgium claimed two gold medals in the men’s part of the Eindhoven Box Cup, firstly Sezai Buruklar has done a small surprise when he defeated Mongolia’s Tsagaanbaatar Munkhbaatar at the bantamweight (56kg). Secondly their 20-year-old Nabil Messaoudi was too strong for Germany’s Daniel Meyer at the welterweight (69kg).
Ireland’s AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships bronze medallist 19-year-old Gabriel Dossen used his longer hands to beat Netherlands’ No.1 Max Van der Pas in the final of the middleweight (75kg) which was a surprise in Eindhoven. The next Irish sensation was delivered by Tony Brown who eliminated Netherlands’ Rio 2016 Olympian Peter Mullenberg in the semi-final and continued his winning path against France’s Seydi Coupe in the final of the heavyweight (91kg).
Netherlands’ promising boxer at the light heavyweight (81kg) Artjom Kasparian was impressive in the whole competition and he was in different level than his teammate Rick De Nooijer in the final. Netherlands’ second gold medal in the men’s part of the Eindhoven Box Cup was acquired by Stanley Koemans at the super heavyweight (+91kg) who attended already in three different EUBC Championships during his career.
