About Roboxing
An independent, English-language record of humanoid robot fighting — who keeps it, what it covers, and what it refuses to claim.
What this is
Roboxing is a record of humanoid robot fighting: the leagues, the events, the full fight cards, the results and the standings, kept in English and in one place. It covers URKL, CyberHero, the Shadow Combat League, Ultimate Fighting Bots and the World Humanoid Robot Games, among others.
Most of this sport happens in China and is reported in Chinese, in fragments, on platforms that do not keep an archive. The gap this site fills is not opinion about the sport. It is the plain question of what happened, who fought, and who won — answered somewhere that still exists next year.
Who publishes it
Roboxing is written and maintained by Tobias Hock, working as one person from the United States. There is no newsroom behind it and no staff list, because inventing one would be the first false thing on the site.
Corrections, questions and complaints all go to the same place: tobias@roboxing.tv. If something here is wrong, saying so is the fastest way to get it changed.
What it is not
Roboxing is not affiliated with any league, organiser, manufacturer or broadcaster, and it holds no broadcast rights to anything it covers. Where a page tells you where to watch an event, it is pointing at somebody else’s stream.
League names, robot names and logos belong to their owners and are used here to identify what is being reported on. The full provider details are on the legal notice.
The rule this site is built on
Never print a fact the site does not hold. It sounds obvious and it is the hardest rule here to keep, because the interesting version of a story is usually the one with a detail nobody has confirmed.
That rule is why two pages exist that most sites in this position would not publish. Open questions lists what is disputed or simply unknown, including where this site cannot tell you whether a machine was piloted or autonomous. Context carries the strongest academic argument that this whole sport is theatre, because a site that covers it and omits that criticism is doing promotion instead.
A record is worth something only if it is willing to say what it does not know.
