The Caribbean Boxing Organization (CBO) announced on Friday that the highly anticipated “Boxing Day Showdown”, originally slated for December 26, 2025, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH), has been postponed.
The event has been rescheduled to January 24, 2026, due to unforeseen issues affecting the availability of several key fighters.
In a statement issued to partners and stakeholders, the CBO noted that the decision was made after extensive consultation with its board members. While acknowledging the disappointment that often accompanies schedule changes, the organisation stressed that the shift was necessary to ensure the integrity and quality of the event.
According to the release, the absence of prominent fighters, central to the evening’s marquee matchups, made it clear that proceeding as initially planned would compromise the standard of entertainment the CBO aims to deliver.
The rescheduled date, they said, will allow the CBO to present a card befitting fans’ expectations and sponsors’ investment.
The CBO reaffirmed its commitment to staging a world-class night of boxing, highlighting that their priority remains the well-being of the athletes, as well as maintaining strong relationships with supporters across the region.
They also expressed appreciation for the patience and flexibility shown by fans and partners as logistical adjustments are made.
Despite the postponement, anticipation remains high as the new date promises an electrifying start to the 2026 boxing calendar.
