Registration and membership renewals start November 1st 2025 for the 2026 year so make sure you register or renew your membership as early as possible starting November 1st 2025. You are responsible for your equipment. You are responsible to communicate of any changes including dropping out, change of weight class, change of experience. You are responsible to show up – Boxers are traveling and spending a lot of money to compete so please make sure you show up or communicate that you are dropping out. To just not show up is not acceptable, you will be issued a loss and will no longer be able to compete in any of the tournaments that I Manny Fernandez is involved with. We know that life happens, injuries, even cold feet and we can definitely understand it. We just ask that you communicate with adequate time so we can make the proper adjustments and not leave anyone without a bout.

If you are going to register for this tournament or any tournament please be available to compete both days. It’s a tournament with things constantly changing all the way up until the weigh ins. We try to help everyone competing but we can no longer cater to boxers who can’t be available both days.

REGISTRATION COST – Registration will be $150 if you register between January 19th 2026 to to February 28th 2026. March 1st 2026 and on it will be $175. We will be working on trying to get a home base hotel with hopefully a good discount. However, recently hotels have not been as helpful so we might not be able to get huge price break. Part of why we open registration so early is to give you time to plan and save as much as you can.

FULL DISCLOSURE – We want to make sure that you are fully informed about the tournament, opponents, and all related to the tournament. We want you to know and feel comfortable with all that goes on and is why we have constant communication through the website, livestreams and our social media.

We release the brackets 3 weeks prior to the tournament so if changes need to be made, the opportunity is there. We release the Bout sheets a week before the tournament, again, to make sure all is in order and all is out in the open.
