SBC has announced Gamingtec, a B2B iGaming solutions provider, as the Platinum Sponsor of the SBC Charity Boxing Championship 2026. This partnership reinforces the industry’s commitment to giving back through one of its most celebrated charity events.
Scheduled for Friday, March 27, in London, the black-tie event will host 550 industry guests for an evening that combines purpose-driven fundraising with luxury hospitality and thrilling sporting drama.
Throughout the night, 12 senior industry figures will trade their suits for boxing gloves in six fiercely contested bouts, all in support of children’s charities through The Oliver’s Wish Foundation.
“The SBC Charity Boxing Championship is an initiative that means a great deal to me,” said SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark. “It’s important to remember that there are far bigger battles being fought beyond the boardroom. This event brings the industry together to collectively support causes that make a real difference.”
Gamingtec is a global B2B iGaming provider with over 10 years of experience supporting online casino and sports betting operators worldwide. Known for its comprehensive approach, the company delivers integrated solutions covering technology, content, payments, and licensing, tailored for diverse regulatory markets.
In 2024, Gamingtec expanded its offerings with the launch of its in-house gaming studio, GT Studios. In addition to serving as the Platinum Sponsor, Gamingtec Founder Sapar Karyagdyyev will enter the ring to face Tamas Kusztos, Co-Founder of jackpot management system SharedLuck, in one of the night’s most anticipated matchups.
Commenting ahead of the fight, Karyagdyyev said, “The SBC Charity Boxing Championship is about showing up for a cause that matters. Becoming a Platinum Sponsor was an easy decision for Gamingtec, but stepping into the ring was a personal commitment.
This fight is my way of pushing my limits and helping raise meaningful funds for children and families in need. I’ll be fighting for a cause that goes far beyond business.” Other confirmed matchups for the night include:
- Craig Asling (Director of Games, Booming Games) vs. Majid Rodriguez (Senior Product Owner, GiG)
- Ferial Abarghooie (Director of Account Management, G Games) vs. Jessica Lee-Green (Partnership Team Manager, Games Global)
- Nikki Timmins (Head of Account Management, Blue Sakura Solutions) vs. Rory Kimber (Commercial Director, Lucky Streak)
- Ben Cleminson (CEO, Square in the Air) vs. Rob Fell (CEO, RiskCherry)
- Lex Scott (VP Gaming, ITV) vs. Roger Redfearn-Tyrzyk (COO, Shufti)
Guests will enjoy a champagne and cocktail reception, followed by a three-course dinner and complimentary drinks. The evening will also feature a charity auction and an exclusive after-party. All proceeds will support SUDC UK, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and Chestnut Tree House, helping to fund vital research, care, and support services for children and families across the UK.
“This championship is only possible because of the incredible commitment shown by our sponsors, fighters, and supporters,” Sojmark added. “Every ticket sold and every donation made helps fund important work for children and families, and it’s inspiring to see our industry unite to create such a meaningful impact.”
