Hi,
As of today, the Professional Boxers’ Affiliation has decided to launch a campaign in order to raise awareness and subsequently look to become the main association body for professional boxers in the UK. We wish to act in a very similar way to other association bodies from different sports (PFA, PJA & PCA) and compliment the great work that trainers, managers and promoters currently do and provide another avenue to support professional boxers.
Once we manage to attract the attention of the main stakeholders within the sport and secure a reliable form of funding, we will be able to offer professional boxers a range of services based on three main areas. These being, mental wellbeing, financial advice and transition into retirement.
Particularly after yesterday’s announcement from the BBBofC, another year of lost earnings for the majority of boxers is even more evidence that the sport is crying out for a body like this.
It’s integral that we try to raise awareness about what we’re doing and gain the attention from broadcasters and other stakeholders. If you’d like to get involved in the campaign, please follow us on social media, use the hashtag #PBALaunch, or donate to the Professional Boxers’ Affiliation Trust.
Thank you!
