Gloves and Doves Returns to London for WBC Amateur International Event

On Sunday, October 26th, 2025, London will once again become the stage for an international amateur boxing event carrying a powerful message of peace and coexistence.

The initiative, promoted by Gloves and Doves in collaboration with the WBC Amateur program, will feature six bouts contested under official WBC Amateur rules.

This time, the visiting team from Israel — made up of boxers from different faiths, both Jews and Arabs, united under the slogan “Fighting for Peace” (displayed proudly in both Hebrew and Arabic on their vests) — will face a select squad representing the Amateur Boxing Alliance of England.

The Bouts: Israel vs. London Select

Itamar Mizrahi (ISR) vs. Chris Freeman (LONDON MILITARY BOXING CLUB) – 60 kg – Junior

Officials from the Amateur Boxing Alliance England will oversee the evening, guaranteeing fair play and reinforcing the event’s credibility and sporting value.

A Tradition of Unity

This London card follows the path set in 2024, when Gloves and Doves brought their groundbreaking initiative to the city for the first time. That event marked an important milestone in showing how boxing can transcend competition and become a platform for dialogue, respect, and unity across cultures.

Gloves and Doves founder, Tony Milch — also WBC Israel Representative and International Alliance Boxing Officer — expressed his pride in seeing the project grow:

“We will continue to deliver the message of coexistence. Our diversity makes us stronger, and through boxing we prove that shared values can overcome divisions.”
