For combat sports fans, the ring will be lit up again this summer: on August 23, 2025, the new season of HELL Boxing Kings will start at the Riz Levente Sports and Events Center, which awaits the audience with a grander lineup and excitement than ever before. The first stop of the five-stop, four-country professional boxing gala series in Budapest promises to be a historic evening: nine spectacular matches, five Olympians, stars, rematches and world stars in one night, and the event will be broadcast live on the RTL+ Premium streaming platform and RTL, so fans across the country can experience HBK’s revolutionary show.

“The goal of HELL Boxing Kings has always been to take boxing to a new level and give the audience an experience they have never seen before. This season, our international presence will continue to grow, and at the Budapest gala, everyone will feel from the first moment that this is more than sport, this is a Las Vegas show,”

– said Tamás Mádi, CEO of HBK. “Olympic icons, professional world stars, audience favorites and the most well-known figures in show business will enter the ring to write new history in Hungarian and international boxing. One of the biggest and most prestigious sporting events of the summer awaits everyone in Budapest.”

On the RTL+ Premium platform, interested parties can follow the matches and events of HELL Boxing Kings from 6:00 p.m., two hours before the television broadcast. During the breaks, viewers will be able to watch extra productions that can only be seen on the streaming platform.

Boráros vs Bárdosi – the Hungarian superfight everyone is waiting for

One of the biggest draws of the gala is the rematch that the country has been talking about for months. MMA star Gábor Boráros and Olympic silver medalist wrestler Sándor Bárdosi will once again face each other. Their previous fight ended in a heated atmosphere, and since then both athletes have been working hard to put an end to the debate.

“This time I will leave no doubt about who is the better boxer,” Boráros said, while Bárdosi responded: “I didn’t come to talk. I’m here to silence him.” The clash between the two sports legends will certainly be one of the most spectacular moments of the evening.
