The best Montenegrin boxers will fight in the Regional Boxing League, under the helmet of BK Nikšić.

The people of Nikšić, who in the last two years have been trying to bring the "noble skill" back to the city under Trebjes, have received the support of other Montenegrin clubs and the Boxing Association for participation in the Regional League.

The first two-round boxing will take place in Banja Luka.

"I'm sure Nikšić will have a great team with the best boxers in Montenegro and I believe that we will be in the playoffs this year - said Ratko Drašković, director of BK Nikšić.

For Nikšić in the new RBL season, young people will be boxing: Filip Božović (-54 kg), Nikola Radenović (-71 kg).
