(AUGUST 5)  We are continuing to see many crazy matchmaking fights that are taking place in the sport. WBAN implemented a database to watchdog some of the worst offenders in the sport that are validating the bouts that are featured on some of these boxing cards.

Boxing in general has a long history of injuries, controversies, and even deaths that have occurred within the sport.

Boxing Commissions supposedly are responsible for implementing rules and regulations that aim to minimize these risks and protect the well-being of the athletes---and yet we are seeing the most atrocious matches being made today and continued from the past.

They do have the power to suspend or revoke licenses of fighters or promoters who violate these rules, further encouraging compliance with safety measures and more>

But are they following their own set of rules?

WBAN was under the belief that Boxing Commissions try to work on ensuring that fighters are not subjected to excessive punishment in the sport.

While no amount of oversight can completely eliminate the risks involved in boxing, the efforts of Boxing Commissions is there to help mitigate those risks and prioritize the well-being of the athletes who are subjected to excessive punishment.

Is this really being done by Boxing Commissions?

Is it not the responsibility of Boxing Commissions in their regulatory role to play a crucial role in ensuring fair competition?  If that is indeed their role, then they are failing at their own roles in the sport.

Recently we just had a female boxer with 111 losses, Klaudia Ferenczi fighting a pro debuter Julia Lee, and Ferenczi lost the fight by being stopped.  Ferenczi had fought in the same month, just 21 days prior to this fight with lee. Ferenczi has not won a fight since 2019. This is just one example of many that are similar to this crazy matchmaking fight featured on a card.

In conclusion....By Boxing Commissions not properly overseeing the sport, it ends up being at the expense of the fighters' safety and well-being. It's a disturbing trend that has led to several incidents where boxers have suffered serious injuries or even lost their lives in the ring.

These incidents serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for stricter regulations and oversight in the boxing industry. It's time for boxing commissions to prioritize the well-being of the fighters and focus on ensuring fair and safe matches.
