WBO Headquarters
London, United Kingdom
June 22, 2018
Long before the purse bid is scheduled to begin, the area surrounding WBO headquarters is already crowded with reporters, photographers, and television crews waiting behind security barriers.
Metropolitan Police officers work alongside WBO security at every entrance, checking credentials as a steady stream of promoters, broadcasters, and company representatives arrives from around the world.
The atmosphere feels more like a championship fight than a business meeting. Some promoters avoid the media entirely, heading straight into the building. Others stop to exchange greetings with familiar faces before going inside together, while a handful patiently answer questions without revealing anything about the bids they intend to submit.
