The Boxing API for developers ballers.
Boxing bout results are live: 29 fight cards and 219 bouts running from January 2025, each carrying the official winner, method and round, with judges' scorecards on 126 of them. The scope is deliberate and US-only — cards sanctioned by a US state athletic commission, Nevada (NSAC) first. Fights staged in the UK, Saudi Arabia or anywhere outside US jurisdiction fall outside these records and are not included. Alongside them, 12,213 fighter profiles on the shared combat-sports surface that also powers UFC: a Wikidata id on every one, a BoxRec id on 7,343. One schema, one key.
1,000 req/day free (2,000 with GitHub). No credit card.

Start on the free tier
100 requests per minute and 1,000 per day, free — the highest per-minute burst of any free sports API we checked. Burst is what matters when something asks several questions in a row and waits on each answer.
- Every sport and league we cover — the paid tiers add history depth and premium fields, not more leagues.
- Calls are counted one for one — no credit weighting, no markets-times-regions arithmetic.
- Link GitHub and the daily cap goes to 2,000.
- No credit card.

Frequently asked
- What boxing data is available today?
- Two things. Results: 29 fight cards and 219 bouts at /v1/fight-cards?sport=boxing and /v1/bouts/:id?sport=boxing, each with the official winner, method and round, and judges' scorecards on 126 of them. Profiles: 12,213 boxing fighters at /v1/athletes?sport=boxing, with a Wikidata id on every one, a BoxRec id on 7,343, a date of birth on 11,834, and a nationality on 10,083. Physical attributes are thinner — height on about a quarter, weight class on about an eighth, reach on none yet — so read them as present-when-known, not guaranteed. Win–loss–draw records are still coming: profiles return the record as null until then, never a fabricated 0-0-0-0.
- Which boxing events do the results cover?
- Bout results come from US state athletic commission public records — Nevada (NSAC) first — which publish the official winner, method, round, and judges' scorecards for every bout sanctioned in that state. That scope is US-only and today largely Nevada. Cards staged outside the US are not included: the UK and Saudi Arabia events that host many marquee title fights fall outside every US commission's jurisdiction, so they do not appear. Expanding to more US states means integrating each commission separately; there is no single national source. The archive runs from January 2025, and new cards land as the commission publishes them rather than on a fixed schedule.
- Will I get results for the big international title fights?
- No — not from this source. Fights staged in the UK, Saudi Arabia, or anywhere else outside the United States are sanctioned by those jurisdictions, not by a US state commission, so they are absent from the commission records we ingest. We would rather say that plainly than let you build against coverage that silently stops at the border. Fighter profiles are worldwide; only the results are US-scoped. We also do not carry sanctioning body or title-belt context on a bout — the commission records we read do not publish it.
- Is this the same surface as the UFC API?
- Yes. Boxing and UFC share the athletes, fight-cards, and bouts endpoints — pass ?sport=boxing. Both now carry loaded fight cards and bouts; the difference is scope, since boxing results are limited to US commission-sanctioned cards.
- Is the boxing API free?
- Yes. Fighter profiles, fight cards, and bout results are all on the free tier at 1,000 req/day (2,000 with GitHub), no credit card.
