Know the individual behind the promotional company.
A promotional brand and the individual holding a BBBofC promoter's licence are not necessarily the same legal person. Before signing, ask for the identity of the licensed promoter responsible for your bout, alongside the full legal name of any company entering into the agreement.
01 · Identify the licence holder
Request the full name and licence status of the individual responsible for the promotion.
02 · Check the contract
Confirm the legal contracting party, signatures, agreed purse, deductions and payment terms. Ask whether Form 35, Form 35A or a Board-approved alternative applies.
03 · Keep a copy
Retain your signed contract, purse offer, messages, invoices and bank records. Ask the Board to confirm what agreement it holds.
Have a solicitor review your case
An AI report is a starting point, not legal advice. Request a confidential review by an appropriately qualified solicitor, who may assess your contract, unpaid purse or complaint and decide whether they can offer representation.
01 · Request a review
Describe your concern and what help you need. Your contact details are required only if you choose to request legal assistance.
02 · Consent before sharing
We will not share your details or documents with an external lawyer, promoter or the BBBofC without your specific permission, except where disclosure is legally required.
03 · Independent decision
A solicitor can assess the merits, costs and any deadlines. Submission does not guarantee acceptance, free legal advice or representation.
Free boxer/promoter contract audit
Check your contract before you sign, or review an existing agreement. Our automated AI review will flag clauses that may need attention, such as payment deadlines, exclusivity, deductions, termination, the identity of the licensed promoter and potential conflicts with BBBofC requirements.
01 · Redact if you prefer
Black out your name, address, signatures, contact details and promoter information before sharing. Leave contractual terms visible for a useful review.
02 · Automated screening
AI can highlight possible risks and provide a plain-English summary. Its findings must be checked against the current rules and are not legal advice.
03 · Stay in control
Nothing will be sent to a promoter or the BBBofC without your approval, except where legally required. Remove personal details you do not wish to disclose.

🛡️ Independent information
Open to boxers, trainers, managers, promoters and anyone involved in boxing.
Boxing WatchDog is independent and not affiliated with the BBBofC. Updates are reviewed before publication and are not legal advice.
Accountability must include the regulator.
Our purpose is to document credible concerns about promoter compliance, identify repeated patterns and ask whether the BBBofC consistently investigates and enforces its own regulations. Where there is evidence of apparent inaction, we aim to seek explanations and appropriate scrutiny.
We will not assume a promoter has broken the rules or that the BBBofC has knowingly allowed misconduct. Reports require verification, and the parties concerned should have a fair opportunity to respond before any public allegation is made.
Free for boxers. Supported by people who care.
Boxing WatchDog is a free resource for professional boxers. We do not charge for submitting concerns or using our automated contract screening. To help sustain this independent service, we rely on voluntary donations and funding support.
