A company from Macau has proposed organizing the professional international boxing tournament IPBU in Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province, south-central Vietnam in September this year.

The provincial People’s Committee on Thursday asked the Department of Culture and Sports to study the proposal by Heng Heng Company, the organizer of IPBU, and report the results to the provincial administration before Saturday.

Heng Heng said it was authorized by New Long San Group and Crazy Sports Group Limited to hold the tournament with some 500 bouts per year in Macau and Hainan Province, China.

The international tournament attracts boxers from countries around the world.

Heng Heng will organize its first bout since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic on May 31 in Macau.

A company representative said it chose Nha Trang because the city has lodging facilities, tourist sites, favorable weather conditions, international air routes, and infrastructure which meets requirements for the tournament and can enable a large number of guests to attend and watch the bouts.

In the long term, the company has proposed that Khanh Hoa authorities instruct it to set up a sporting complex project so that it can organize four bouts per month.
