This is the second season of the Wray & Nephew Fight Night Series, which is a multimillion-dollar sponsorship across cash and kind, will run from June to October.

“Simply put, Wray & Nephew Fight Night Series is the bridge between Jamaica and the global stage. These events play a huge role in Jamaica’s build-up to the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028,” shared JBB President Stephen ‘Bomber’ Jones. “They are where our top local talent gets real experience under pressure — lights, cameras, crowd, the whole deal. The best boxers from our monthly shows at Stanley Couch Gym earn their way onto this platform, and from there, we identify who’s ready to represent Jamaica internationally.”

Jones explained further: “Over the next few years, there’ll be key competitions hosted by the Confederations of World Boxing. The athletes who shine on Fight Night will be the ones getting those opportunities to travel, compete, and sharpen their skills against top fighters from around the world.”
