iVisit Boxing, the live sports entertainment organisation behind the Iconic Boxing League framework, a city versus city championship structure which plans to run world championship events globally, has signed up Brave Bison to help deliver and scale the programme.
Brave Bison’s Media Network, which has retained YouTube Certified and Preferred Partner status for over a decade, will manage iVB’s YouTube channel end-to-end, providing strategic oversight across live event streaming, content strategy and programming, optimisation, audience development, and rights management.
Working with Boxing News, Brave Bison’s fan engagement consultancy Engage will aim to drive sustained reach and engagement, using its suite of tech tools to manage collaborations with content creators.
The partnership is designed to mark a significant step forward in how boxing is distributed, consumed and commercialised in the digital age.
iVB recently announced its History in the Making event in San Francisco on July 11, 2026, featuring a World-Championship fight and the official launch of the IBL. The league’s first season will span 2026-2027, featuring 12 global cities competing in a team-based format. The IBL will be exclusively available on YouTube, combining ad-supported viewing with more affordable pay-per-view access to broaden reach and accessibility.
iVB has built a reputation for innovation within boxing, having previously delivered the Ring Magazine Times Square Takeover in May 2025. Its model brings together promoters, venues and cultural moments under a unified Boxing–Music–City framework, designed to create more immersive, fan-first experiences.
The IBL is designed to engage professional fighters, local boxing communities and the broader global sports audience, positioning the sport firmly within mainstream entertainment through a more accessible, entertainment-led viewing experience.
iVisit Boxing chief executive Ed Pereira said: “iVisit Boxing was created to challenge the status quo and bring the sport back to the people. This partnership with Brave Bison is a critical step in delivering that vision.
“Their deep expertise in digital video, audience growth and platform strategy gives us the capability to scale globally, connect with new generations of fans, and build a more accessible, always-on boxing experience. Together, we’re not just launching a league—we’re building a new model for the future of the sport.”
Brave Bison VP, video and audience development Adam Raw added: “We are delighted to be working alongside iVisit Boxing on what promises to be a landmark moment for the sport. This partnership represents a powerful opportunity to reimagine how boxing is distributed and experienced globally.
“By combining iVB’s ambition with YouTube’s unparalleled scale and Brave Bison’s expertise in digital audience growth and video strategy, we are confident this initiative will deliver meaningful reach, deeper fan engagement and long-term value for the sport. We’re incredibly proud to play a role in bringing this vision to life.”
