British Boxing Board of Control

The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) has been the governing body overseeing British professional boxing since 1929. As the sole arbitrator of professional boxing contests under its jurisdiction, the Board ensures the highest standards of safety, regulation, and sportsmanship. The organization manages a wide range of license holders, including boxers, referees, managers, promoters, and trainers, while also sanctioning major championships such as the British, English, and Celtic titles. Beyond regulation, the BBBofC provides essential resources like first aid courses, approved equipment lists, and mental health support for its members. It also maintains the prestigious Lord Lonsdale Challenge Belt and hosts annual awards to celebrate excellence in the sport. Committed to clean sport and equal opportunities, the Board works closely with UK Anti-Doping and international sanctioning bodies. Whether you are a professional athlete, a licensed official, or a dedicated fan, the BBBofC remains the definitive authority for professional boxing in the United Kingdom, upholding the integrity and heritage of the sport.
