Ready to Fight, a web3 boxing app co-founded by Ukrainian world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, has announced a partnership with the TON Foundation and blockchain developer Kauri One to introduce crypto-enabled debit cards on Telegram.
Crypto-Friendly Debit Cards Through Telegram
Built on the Ethereum and BNB Chain blockchains, Ready to Fight aims to expand the use cases for its native RTF token through this collaboration. According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the new crypto-enabled debit card will allow RTF holders to spend their tokens globally at any merchant that supports Mastercard using Apple Pay.
Additionally, users will be able to buy, hold, exchange, and sell nine other cryptocurrencies—including Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and Ethereum (ETH)—within their in-app wallet and convert them into RTF tokens.
Supporting the Growth of the Sports Industry
Sergey Lapin, CEO of Ready to Fight, highlighted the potential of blockchain technology to support the growth of the sports industry, particularly boxing. He emphasized the importance of ease of use and a wide range of applications for achieving mass adoption.
“The huge demand for Ready to Fight demonstrates its potential, but we can only achieve mass adoption by ensuring ease-of-use and a wide range of use-cases,” Lapin stated.
Rapid Growth and High-Profile Support
Since its launch in late 2023, Ready to Fight has attracted over 150,000 users, including 15,000 boxers. The app has received support from prominent boxing figures such as Amir Khan, Mike Tyson, and Michael Buffer. Designed as an intermediary between athletes and the specialists and services that help them develop and earn money, the platform uses its native RTF token for all financial transactions, including donations and payments for products and services.
Broadening the Horizons of Blockchain in Sports
This partnership between Ready to Fight, the TON Foundation, and Kauri One represents a significant step in broadening the applications of blockchain technology within the sports industry. By integrating crypto-friendly debit cards into the Telegram messenger, the collaboration aims to make cryptocurrency transactions more accessible and convenient for athletes and enthusiasts worldwide.
