Overtime is maintaining the core elements of the sweet science while innovating on elements to promote transparency, fighter economic incentives, and fan-friendly fights. We think with the inclusion of a few rule changes, these are the types of fights we want associated with OTX, high-action, exciting, and entertaining!
The World Boxing Council (WBC), the most innovative sanctioning body, is partnering with Overtime and endorses the rule set. The Association of Boxing Commissions and Combat Sports (ABC), the national governing body also supports the rule set.
The 18ft x 18ft Ring is smaller than a typical major fight. This smaller ring will provide closer proximity of fighters and allow for more action during the fight.
If a fighter gets a KO at any point in the fight, they are entitled to a bonus.
First and last rounds serve as the “Money Round” where fighters will receive a more lucrative bonus compared to a general KO. We will incentivize fast starts to fights and exciting endings.
If there is a draw on the judges’ scorecards after the regularly scheduled rounds, there will be an additional winner takes all round. This allows the fighter to take their fate into their own hands and go for the victory.
