Fighters will clash over four rounds in the semi-finals in Telford, with the winners of each progressing to box off in the final to see who will be crowned Box Off Champions. Finalists will also earn four points for their team, with the winners in the final stage also gaining a further six points. The team with the highest points total amassed over the two stages will be crowned Box Off team champions.
