Established in 1922, The Ring has long been recognised as boxing’s most prestigious media platform, covering the sport’s greatest athletes and most iconic matchups.
The partnership underscores Qatar’s prominent position in the global sports industry, with the sponsored fights set to feature some of the world’s top-ranked elite boxers, each with a significant international following.
Through this strategic agreement, Visit Qatar will benefit from event rights, branding opportunities, and destination activations across five headline fights and one global awards ceremony.
The sponsorship commenced during Ring Magazine’s historic first-ever boxing card FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves, headlined by Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on 26 April 2025. It will be followed by further major events including the May 2 fight card in New York, culminating in The Ring’s awards ceremony next year. The agreement also provides for one of these global events to be hosted annually in Qatar.
Eng. Abdulaziz Ali Al Mawlawi, CEO at Visit Qatar said: “Partnering with The Ring, an iconic name in international boxing world, provides a powerful platform to reach global audiences and demonstrate Qatar’s commitment to sports excellence. This collaboration is part of Visit Qatar’s broader vision to engage global sports fans and boost destination visibility through strategic partnerships.”
The partnership forms part of a series of strategic collaborations that Visit Qatar has established with esteemed sporting organisations such as Paris Saint-Germain, UEFA, and ONE Championship, reflecting its clear commitment to supporting global sport and strengthening Qatar’s international presence through events that appeal to a broad audience of sports enthusiasts worldwide.
