MBA Oceania Titles – Gold Coast 2026

 

The MBA Oceania Titles will take place on Thursday 5 November (Tournament Brief – 6pm), Friday 6 November (Day One), Saturday 7 November (Day Two) and Sunday 8 November (Day Three) at the Mermaid Waters Hotel. This three-day Masters Boxing tournament marks a new chapter in MBA championship competition.

Please note this event replaces the Pan Pacific Masters Games Boxing tournament previously held at this venue. While boxing will no longer be part of the Pan Pacific Masters Games program, boxers can enter and take advantage of the many Pan Pacs entertainment events on offer. Those wishing to attend Pan Pacs entertainment can purchase a non-playing pass directly through the Games.

The MBA Oceania Titles is a stand-alone championship tournament and is not part of the new MBA State or Australian belt pathway. As the remaining event on the 2026 MBA calendar, we will be pulling out all the stops to make this our biggest and best event yet. Masters boxers of all ages and levels of experience are encouraged to enter.
