One Night. Nine Fights. Five Olympians. One Question: Will You Be There? HELL Boxing Kings presents one of the biggest professional boxing events of the year! On August 23, 2025, at the Riz Levente Sports and Events Center in Budapest, the stakes will be sky-high: intense rematches and fiery celebrity bouts will set the arena ablaze.
On August 23, 2025, the Hungarian capital will host the HELL Boxing Kings international professional boxing gala, where the biggest domestic and international stars of the sport will test their strength between the ropes. Spectators can witness exciting clashes: alongside world-class professionals, the program will feature a spectacular celebrity unification match and a highly anticipated Superfight rematch.
One of the gala’s main attractions is the return of last year’s lightweight HBK champion, Tayfur Aliyev, and the 2024 finalist, Kovács “The Fearless” Kruzító. The audience will see Slovak-Hungarian standout and Olympian András Csemez in HBK colors for the first time, and one of the greatest figures in Hungarian professional boxing, Balázs “Benji” Bacskai, will step back into the ring – the top domestic fighter regardless of weight class, who also ranks 28th on the world rankings.
With this gala, HELL Energy Promotion launches its five-stop professional series for the year. The very first event will be special: five Olympians and several former European champions will enter the ring (Tayfur Aliyev, András Csemez, Balázs Bacskai, Sándor Bárdosi, Levente Oláh) to provide an unforgettable evening for the audience.

The 36-year-old, 173 cm tall, orthodox boxer comes from South Africa but competes under Germany’s colors.

Alongside 13 wins, he has accumulated 192 rounds of professional experience (record: 13–16–1). His coach is Laszlo Bojarszki.
“I’m looking forward to the match, as I finally get to face a serious opponent whose defeat could be a milestone in my career.”
Tayfur Aliyev
The 27-year-old, 171 cm tall Azerbaijani boxer, primarily orthodox but often switches stance during bouts, entered the HBK live show last year with two fights: first defeating Croatian Mladen Kovács via RSC, then outpointing Romanian Popescu Alexandru. In the quarterfinals he beat Gergő Száraz, in the semifinals he defeated Székely-Hungarian Róbert Csiki, to claim the 2024 HBK lightweight championship against Kovács Kruzító.
Aliyev is an European Championship medalist, Olympian, and now a strong, technically skilled boxer. He is a heavy-hitting counterpuncher who has been boxing since 2011 and comes from a boxing family – his older brother is an amateur world championship bronze medalist.
