The competition is recognised as part of the BUCS big event calendar and this is the second time the University of Wolverhampton has hosted a BUCS event in its history.

“We took great pride in hosting the event last year. As a collective, we raised the profile of the event, student sport and engagement.

"A big part of our role is to deliver the best possible student experiences in sport including those outside of the ring. Having the event for the next two years allows us to work on delivering an even better event in 2020 and beyond."
