Next Up Boxing League is a premier amateur boxing platform designed to elevate elite fighters into the spotlight through a professional, broadcast level experience. Founded by Kristian Vasquez, a recognized boxing promoter since 2004 and two time New York Golden Gloves Champion, the league represents over two decades of innovation in amateur boxing.
Next Up Boxing League is the only amateur boxing promotion structured like the professional ranks, featuring officially recognized championship belts that are defended, creating real stakes, storylines, and legacy for fighters before they turn pro. All events are Sanctioned by USA Boxing and our rankings are based off the USA Boxing Rankings.
Our system is built to develop not only high-level athletes, but the character, discipline, and mindset of future champions, preparing them for the responsibilities, pressure, and exposure that come with the professional stage. Fighters gain experience performing under lights, in front of cameras, and in high energy environments that mirror the pro experience.
Each event delivers a full scale production including pro style ring walks, live commentary, digital promotion, and global live streaming attracting passionate fight fans, athletes, and a rapidly growing online audience.
Next Up Boxing League bridges the gap between amateur and professional boxing, positioning itself as a leading force in the evolution of the sport and a powerful platform for brands to connect with an engaged and authentic audience.
