The tournament is hosted by Isigym Boxsport Berlin e.V. The club was founded in 2007 together with the housing company Gewobag as a neighbourhood project in Schöneberg-Nord and has been Berlin's only Olympic youth training centre for boxing since 2013.
Under the leadership of its chairman and head coach Izzet Mafratoglu, a two-time German champion, the club combines performance-oriented boxing training with social youth work. This includes supporting young people with schoolwork and questions of career orientation.
The Berlin Cup gives young talents the opportunity to gain international competition experience and to develop as athletes. At the same time, the tournament encourages encounters between young people of different backgrounds.
The Governing Mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegner, also acknowledges the club's commitment in his greeting for this year's tournament.
