USA Boxing Announces Partnership with Xempower USA

USA Boxing has announced a partnership with Xempower USA, officially designating Xempower USA as the exclusive information technology services provider for USA Boxing national events through 2028.

“We’re extremely excited about this partnership between USA Boxing and Xempower,” USA Boxing Board of Directors Chairman Tyson Lee stated. “As the sport continues to evolve, integrating advanced technology to support scoring accuracy and efficiency has never been more important. This collaboration positions USA Boxing at the forefront of innovation and strengthens our commitment to fairness in the field of play. Together with Xempower, we’re helping usher in a new era for our sport.”

Xempower USA’s revolutionary work in the boxing space has been instrumental in Olympic-style boxing and allows USA Boxing to monitor and capture bout analytics at national events and within the USA Boxing High Performance department. The partnership aids USA Boxing in training officials, as well as referees and judges, to grow the sport within the United States.

Xempower USA is led by Thomas Cai, who founded Xempower in 2015 to combine his passion for competitive athletics with his knowledge of technology services. As a former boxer and judge within the sport, Mr. Cai is driven by the belief that innovation can transform the sporting experience for competitors and administrators alike.

“Our partnership with USA Boxing reinforces our shared commitment to fairness,” Mr. Cai stated. “Xempower’s AI technology is designed to support boxing with clear, data-driven insights, helping ensure every boxer competes on a truly level playing field.”

Driven by the philosophy of “Elevating Sports Excellence,” Mr. Cai has created AI-powered solutions for boxing that enhance fairness, transparency and overall efficiency in every competition. His commitment to empowering athletes, referees & judges and event organizers with the ability to transform competitions into data-driven analytics is paramount in bridging the gap between event hosts and fans of Olympic-style boxing.

Additionally, the partnership will grant USA Boxing the ability to leverage Xempower USA’s AI technology to provide data-driven metrics and statistical analysis of select bouts at USA Boxing events. Xempower USA’s technology will further allow USA Boxing to track bout statistics among national event competitions.

As the official timing and scoring partner, Xempower is deploying its full Event Operation & Management System (EOMS) – a fully integrated platform that supports every operational and technical aspect of the competition, including event setup, registration, Technical Official (TO) management, boxer and official draws, automated bout scheduling and publishing, scoring, R&J evaluation and more. Its proven performance is demonstrated at the 2025 USA Boxing Junior Olympics and Summer Festival, a landmark tournament that featured more than 1,400 athletes competing across five rings.

Further, through the partnership, USA Boxing will incorporate Xempower USA’s technology for detailed boxing analytics during High Performance team training at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“The analytics provided by Xempower USA’s AI technology will make a significant impact on our ability to identify strengths and weaknesses of our High Performance boxers,” USA Boxing Director of High Performance Matt Johnson noted of the partnership. “Incorporating this technology into our national training center will provide data-driven insight to highlight opportunities for improvement on a daily basis throughout the year, while enhancing our preparation for international competition.”
