HOW TO GET YOUR EVENT SANCTIONED
Hosting an Event
To host an authorized USA Boxing event, you are required to have a sanction. A sanction is an official
permit, granted to you by USA Boxing, giving you the right to host an event. More importantly, events
and activities MUST be authorized to receive coverage through the insurance policy included with your
USA Boxing club membership.
The following resources will be helpful when sanctioning and running your show.
Applying for a Sanction
To apply for a sanction, you must be a club or LBC administrator. To apply:
Log in to your USA Boxing account HERE
Once logged in, locate the “Event Administration” section on the left-hand side of the home page and click “Submit an Event”
On the next screen, you will be asked to choose the type of sanction you are applying for:
Club Event – This is the most common sanction. This sanction is for clubs looking to host an event at their gym, featuring boxers within their gym and the immediate community
LBC Event - Typically a larger scale event that may bring a higher level of competition. This can include citywide or regional events
Golden Gloves - Only members of the Golden Glove franchise can apply for this type of sanction
Third Party/Charitable Event - An event where the proceeds benefit a third party not associated with the club or local LBC.
Pro-Am – This event hosts a combination of profession and amateur bouts. Applicants are only required to obtain a sanction for the amateur portion of the event. Promoters who have questions for the professional portion of the event should contact their state athletic commission for more information.
When registering for a sanction please have the following information available:
The Official in charge. Contact your LBC if you need assistance obtaining an official in charge.
The event’s Ringside Doctor (can be entered later)
Event details (Location, Date, and Time)
Payment information
Once you’ve completed the application process online, your LBC will need to approve it. Upon your sanction’s approval, you will receive an email. Contact the LBC President and Chief of Officials prior to applying to make sure the date you want is available.
