SBC has named B2B iGaming solutions provider Gamingtec as the Platinum Sponsor of the SBC Charity Boxing Championship 2026, reinforcing the industry’s collective commitment to giving back through one of its most celebrated charity events.
Taking place on Friday 27 March in London, the black-tie event will welcome 550 industry guests for an evening that blends purpose-driven fundraising with luxury hospitality and raw sporting drama.
Across the night, 12 senior industry figures will trade suits for 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 are making a real difference.”
Gamingtec is a global B2B iGaming provider with more than ten years of experience supporting online casino and sports betting operators worldwide. Known for its end-to-end approach, the company delivers fully integrated solutions that span technology, content, payments, and licensing, tailored to diverse regulatory markets. In 2024, Gamingtec expanded its ecosystem with the launch of its in-house gaming studio, GT Studios.
As well as serving as the Platinum Sponsor of the evening, Gamingtec Founder Sapar Karyagdyyev will step into the ring to face Tamas Kusztos, Co-Founder of jackpot management system SharedLuck, in one of the most anticipated matchups of the night.
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 myself was a commitment I wanted to make personally. This fight is my way of pushing my limits and helping raise meaningful funds for children and families who truly need it. On the night, I’ll be fighting for a cause that goes far beyond business.”
Other confirmed bouts on 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)
Across the night, attendees will be treated to a champagne and cocktail reception, followed by a three-course dinner and complimentary drinks. In addition, the evening will also feature a charity auction and an exclusive after-party. All proceeds from the night will support SUDC UK, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and Chestnut Tree House, helping 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 vital work for children and families, and it’s inspiring to see our industry unite to create such a meaningful impact.”
