Age is a number and these Master Boxers prove it every day!
Masters Boxing is an Amateur or Olympic-style boxing that provides the participant exercise, character development, self-discipline, self-confidence, structure, work ethic and friendships. The sport requires the participation of a number of people in addition to boxers themselves: coaches, officials, ringside physicians, and administrators. Each person’s role is important, and an amateur boxing event cannot proceed without all participants. Therefore, each person involved must embrace their position within the sport with integrity, recognizing the importance of all participants and carrying out their personal role with honesty and fairness. Knowledge of the Technical Rules provided in Part I of this book is imperative in order to do one’s best.
There is a lot of activity and a lot being talked about in the Masters Division for 2012. First is there is talk about organizing the division and have it called International Masters Boxing Association. It’s in the beginning stages but what this will do for all the masters and soon to be masters is simplify the registration process by having an organized body to deal with just the master boxers. This will also help develop better planning for events and add more events through out the Country and soon across the world. Very exiting and will keep you all up to date.
Also, the website as you can see is under construction and changing over to a wordpress format that will make it easier to update profiles and content.
Our goal when creating the masters boxing website was to create a community for these great pugilist. The constant problem has been a lack of information and direction on where to get the information needed. As we all know it can be a challenge trying to get one’s passbook and at times more of a challenge to get information on events where one can compete. With this website we hope to make it easier for you to gather information as well as be able to communicate with other master boxers.
