Suspended Members
England Boxing (EB) has a duty to deal with Code of Conduct complaints and safeguarding concerns about persons within its jurisdiction.
England Boxing has jurisdiction over any member of England Boxing as well as any others actively involved in Olympic (formerly amateur) boxing in England (including but not limited to boxers, coaches, officials, EB Officers, volunteers and parents or guardians of members) in relation to breaches of England Boxing’s Code of Conduct, Anti-Doping Code, Safeguarding Policy, Adults at Risk Policy, or any other discipline or safeguarding policy and/or any safeguarding concern or referral.
There are thousands of boxing coaches, club staff, officials and volunteers doing excellent work to ensure our sport has a positive impact on people, communities, and society in general – however there have been incidents when an individual’s behaviour results in them being suspended or banned as an England Boxing member. Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of all those involved in our sport, and so we believe that publishing this list is in the best interest of boxing and the wider public, including to help ensure fairness in the sport and the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults at risk within the sport.
Not all members who are subject to a suspension of membership will be included in the published list. This can be due to a reason specific to a specific case, to protect other parties to a complaint, or to ensure the integrity of any investigation while it is being completed.
