Commonwealth Boxing Council
The British Boxing Board of Control has been overseeing British professional boxing since 1929.
Read moreWe are pleased to announce that following lengthy litigation the BBBofC has successfully defended a claim against it in the Employment Tribunal for race discrimination and victimisation, with the Employment Tribunal rejecting the claimant’s claims that the BBBofC had discriminated against or victimised the claimant and finding that the Board had reached the decisions challenged by the claim for justifiable reasons.
The BBBofC reaffirms its commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and will continue to work to ensure the trust of all those involved in the sport of professional boxing. There is no place for discrimination in this sport on the grounds of any protected characteristic, and the BBBofC strives to ensure that it upholds those values at all times.
The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) have a long-standing relationship with Boxing Scotland, the only recognised National Governing Body (NGB) for amateur boxing in Scotland.
As such, the BBBoC only recognises boxing in Scotland which takes places under the jurisdiction of the BBBoC or Boxing Scotland.
With this being the case, we do not support boxing events which fall outside of these jurisdictions for professional and amateur boxing.
To make clear, any Trainer/Second who holds a license with the BBBoC would need express written permission to corner bouts at events which fall outside of the jurisdiction of the BBBoC or Boxing Scotland.
Additionally, please be aware that any Scottish boxers who seek a professional license from the BBBoC who are not registered to Boxing Scotland are likely to face further assessment when applying for a professional licence.
