ABOUT DIRTY BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP (DBX)
Launched in 2024, DBX gained immediate attention for its dynamic format and regulations including Superman punches, spinning backfists, elbows and standing ground and pound as acceptable forms of combat in addition to traditional striking. Unlike other fight promotions, DBX is determined to provide conclusive results for fighters and fans by eliminating split decisions. If the judges' scorecards are tied, fighters will compete in an additional round to determine the winner.
