Ready To Fight, the pioneering boxing-focused online platform co-founded by world champion Oleksandr Usyk, has been named as the official digital partner of the forthcoming Riyadh Season WBC Boxing Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia.

Launched in 2023, Ready To Fight is the first social platform dedicated to boxing. It enables streamlined communication and collaboration between boxers, sparring partners, managers, and fans.

The platform was successfully used during Usyk’s preparation for his two fights with Tyson Fury, where more than 40 sparring partners were recruited exclusively through the app. 

  • SALE: 30% off a US DAZN annual subscription at just £157.99 (from £229.99) to watch over 185 fights per year. That's just £0.85 per fight.

This new partnership marks a milestone in the mutual efforts of RTF and WBC toward the digital transformation of boxing.

As part of the announcement, RTF’s fintech product Ready To Pay has been named the official payment solution for the Grand Prix – powering secure payouts for the event’s prize pool and future global competitions.

The Riyadh Season WBC Boxing Grand Prix, organized by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and Riyadh Season, is a groundbreaking tournament featuring 128 athletes from 41 countries competing across four divisions.

As the first-ever Boxing World Cup, the event aims to discover and showcase the next generation of boxing superstars.

“This is the first event where young talents will have the opportunity to come out from unknown parts of the world to shine through the Grand Prix," stated WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán.

"It’s also a stage for showcasing how innovation can elevate a sport, making it smarter, fairer, and more inclusive.” 

As the official digital partner, Ready To Fight will introduce its ecosystem of solutions and services inlcuding Sparring Partner Recruitment – seamless matchmaking via the app and Pro Boxing Analytics – advanced fight analytics offering in-depth insights.

According to the agreement, further RTF is going to fully digitalize the process of boxer scouting, recruitment, and registration, as well as all administrative operations by next year.

“Boxing cannot remain stuck in the 20th century – its digital transformation is long overdue,” said Sergey Lapin, Director of Usyk’s team and CEO of Ready To Fight.

“Over the past almost two years, our team has been at the forefront of this process, launching innovative technologies for both fighters and fans.

"Our primary mission is to make boxing more efficient, transparent, and accessible through digital solutions.

"We have collaborated with the WBC since the very inception of our platform, and now, we are proud to contribute to the most significant boxing event of the year.” 

In 2025, RTF introduced the world’s first comprehensive boxing analytics service. Featuring over 50 analytical metrics, the platform delivers fight insights and predictive analytics with an industry-leading accuracy rate of 78.3%.

Built on more than two decades of professional boxing expertise, it is set to become a game-changer for athletes, coaches, and fans alike.

"As a world champion who began his journey from humble beginnings, I deeply understand the challenges young athletes face along the way," said Oleksandr Usyk.

My ambition in developing Ready To Fight is to democratize our sport, creating opportunities for talented boxers worldwide – regardless of where they live, their background, or their financial means.

"I’m happy that His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and Mauricio Sulaimán, two significantly influential figures in boxing, not only share the same vision and passion but also take concrete action to make it a reality,"
