“A one-of-a-kind event globally” Targi Kielce and the Polish Boxing Association join forces to advance the Boxing Industry Forum and Expo 6 August 2026
For several years, Kielce has served as the meeting hub for fighters, coaches, equipment manufacturers, club representatives, sports governing bodies, and boxing-related businesses. By combining a trade show, conferences, live showcases, boxing matches, and meet-and-greets with ring champions, the event delivers an all-encompassing format unseen anywhere else in the world.
“The Boxing Industry Forum and International Expo is a truly exceptional initiative. It brings together a broad spectrum of elements—from trade displays by leading equipment manufacturers and distributors to insightful conferences, elite competition, and encounters with boxing’s biggest stars. This very diversity drives the project’s growth year after year, attracting an ever-expanding audience. I am delighted that, alongside the Polish Boxing Association, we will continue to elevate this event in the coming years,” highlights Dr Andrzej Mochoń, CEO of Targi Kielce.
The upcoming edition takes place on 18–19 September 2026 and will, for the first time, harness the capabilities of Targi Kielce’s brand-new exhibition hall.
“This represents both a major milestone and an incredible opportunity for us. The new hall enables us to deliver the largest edition in our history. We are seeing record-breaking demand, with the highest numbers of athletes, exhibitors, and visitors expected to date. I am confident that together we will create an event that cements its status even further on the Polish and European boxing calendars,” says Grzegorz Nowaczek, President of the Polish Boxing Association.
This year's programme features an extensive equipment and gear exhibition, a Forum focused on the future of Olympic boxing, Polish Boxing League matches, an interactive youth zone, and exclusive meet-and-greets with ring legends and current stars. Among the featured guests is former world champion Krzysztof “Diablo” Włodarczyk, alongside an array of prominent figures from Polish boxing.
“This event is genuinely unique, not just within Europe, but on a global scale. Its innovative format makes the Boxing Industry Forum and International Expo an exceptional project with extraordinary potential for future expansion,” emphasises Grzegorz Mikuła, Secretary General of the Polish Boxing Association.
The 6th Boxing Industry Forum and International Expo will take place on 18–19 September 2026 at Targi Kielce.
