propagandistic tournament


Explanation:
The young boxers of Bryansk participated in a propagandistic tournament.

It depends on the context. If the tournament is like marketing for political purposes, then "propagandistic" is the right choice.
If it's just marketing then I suggest "demonstration tournament."
