Golden Contract: Quarter-final draw explained ahead of next Friday's featherweight competition
Innovative eight-man tournament kicks off with featherweight quarter-finals on Friday October 4, live on Sky Sports.
The Golden Contract offers a lucrative opportunity for fighters to transform their careers, but how will Tuesday's draw add a twist to the innovative event?
Current champions, unbeaten prospects, and enigmatic challengers have already confirmed their entry in The Golden Contract, organised by MTK Global in association with Matchroom Boxing, which kicks off with the featherweight quarter-finals at London's iconic York Hall on October 4, live on Sky Sports.
Eight fighters will compete at featherweight, super-lightweight and light-heavyweight, with the three divisional winners earning a two-year, five-fight deal with six-figure purses for each fight guaranteed.
Knockout bonuses are also on offer and the 126lb curtain-raiser features current British champion Ryan Walsh, Commonwealth king Leigh Wood, former Lonsdale belt holder Jazza ****ens, Davey Oliver Joyce, Tyrone McCullagh, Cuban Hairon Socarras, Mexico's Carlos Araujo and Spaniard Carlos Ramos
.
Entrants will not find out who they are facing until fight week - and Tuesday's draw is expected to crank up tension and animosity ahead of the opening bell.
The draw, which will be streamed on the Sky Sports Boxing social channels, will be conducted in the following way:
The Golden Contract Draw
1. Eight balls will be placed in a bag; four blue (numbered 1-4) and four red (not numbered).
2. All eight fighters draw a ball from the bag in turn.
3. The fighters who draw a blue ball (starting with the fighter who drew the blue ball numbered '1') choose their opponent from the fighters who drew red balls.
Watch The Golden Contract featherweight quarter-finals from 8pm on Friday October 4, live on Sky Sports.
