iVB stands for iVisit Boxing, a live sports entertainment organization that aims to "bring boxing back to the people" through large-scale, community-focused events. Founded in 2025 by Ed Pereira, iVB is a movement focused on reimagining world-championship boxing and making it more accessible to fans.
- World Record Attempt: iVB has announced plans to break the world record for the highest attendance at a boxing event on July 11, 2026, in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza. The goal is to host around 140,000 spectators and surpass the current record of 135,132 set in 1941.
- Partnership with YouTube: iVB has a multi-event partnership with YouTube to stream its world championship events live and for free to a global audience, removing traditional pay-per-view barriers.
- The Iconic Series: In 2026, iVB plans to hold 12 world championship events in different cities worldwide as part of its "Iconic Series".
- Community Focus: Events are designed to be cultural festivals with live entertainment and a fan village, integrating local culture and making fans active participants.
