So there is a new league that will be running ammy boxing. But of course USA Boxing is gonna be anti this new league. To: USA Boxing Membership From: USA Boxing, Inc. It has come to our attention that a new boxing organization, United States Boxing League, has been approved to operate in the State of Colorado. The United States Boxing League (USBL) recently sent out an email announcing the development of their unique boxing format that in their words “fills the gap between amateur and professional.” USA Boxing has conducted phone calls with the USBL leadership regarding their program and from the statements made to our office, it appears the Colorado State Athletic Commission has approved and recognized the organization for operation within their State. It is our understanding that the officials working these events are licensed professional referees and judges. USBL is clear in their announcement that they are not affiliated with USA Boxing, Inc., the National Governing Body of Amateur Boxing in the United States. Please read the following statement regarding USA Boxing restrictions regarding participation in the United States Boxing League. No registered members of USA Boxing, Inc., specifically, athlete and non-athlete members, are permitted to participate in non-USA Boxing sanctioned events. Individuals who decide to box or officiate in United States Boxing League events will be suspended from USA Boxing membership. As previously stated, United States Boxing League leadership is aware of our rules and restrictions. USBL Resident Agent and spokesperson Aurelio Martinez, Sr. communicated the following to the National Office, “I anticipated USA Boxing notifying their membership of the conflict with participating in USBL events.” USA Boxing Competition Rule 3 3.4.4. A USA Boxing member may NOT box in a non-USA Boxing sanctioned event. USA Boxing Technical Rule 1 1.5. Any boxer, coach or official who participates in an unsanctioned amateur or non-amateur boxing contest or tournament is ineligible to participate in competition as an athlete or non-athlete member of USA Boxing. Such person may make an appeal for consideration through USA Boxing’s grievance and complaint process. (To clarify, USA Boxing does not restrict non-athlete members from participating in State Athletic Commission Professional events or approved Fire & Police events)
