Amateur Boxing Alliance (England) CIC

The Amateur Boxing Alliance (England) CIC is a boxing club based in London, United Kingdom. It was formed to provide an alternative platform for amateur boxing clubs that are not interested in the offerings of other boxing organisations. The club is managed by Regional Volunteers who are dedicated to promoting grassroots amateur boxing.

The club has produced an Amateur Boxing Rule book for its members and has the necessary insurance in place. It is also registered with DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service). The club offers affordable public liability insurance for gyms through its insurers.

The Amateur Boxing Alliance operates under a democratic system where any changes to rules/articles must be approved by a majority vote from its members. The club has established a National Championship structure for boxers of all ages and abilities. Boxers are allowed to compete in other non-professional combat sports, such as Judo or Karate, as long as their boxing cards are updated accordingly.

Amateur Coaches who hold a professional licence are permitted to coach and corner their amateur boxers. The club also implements a 3-year medical scheme for boxers to ensure their health and safety.

The club utilises a point scoring system using clickers in all tournaments. The wearing of headguards is mandatory for all boxers in championships, tournaments, and club shows.

Senior boxers are classified into Novice, Intermediate, and Open Class. Junior boxers in championships and club shows compete in single year age groups. In necessary cases, boxers can compete twice in one day in championships.

The club offers thirteen senior weight groups, including the light middleweight and cruiserweight divisions. The club's headquarters, known as Giraffe House, is located at 285 Albany RD, London.

The Amateur Boxing Alliance is managed by three administrative regions and nationally by the Alliance Office. Clubs located in regions without an administrative point can register with the nearest region or directly with the Alliance through the London Office.

The club offers a variety of tournaments and coaching courses for schools, juniors, and senior boxers. To book a show, club representatives need to contact the Regional Appointment Secretary to check for availability and then fill out the appropriate form and send it with a cheque to the Appointment Secretary of their region.

The Amateur Boxing Alliance is a dedicated and inclusive boxing club that provides a platform for amateur boxers to compete and develop their skills.
