A new regulatory body has been established by the Singapore Boxing Federation in a boost for the sport professionally, with the vision of making the Republic a boxing hub, the association announced on Aug 16.
It also aims to provide “systematic regulation and administration”, which SBF believes has been a “key missing component in Singapore’s professional boxing scene”. “We’ve had this in the pipeline for the last six months and we’re doing necessary things inviting overseas sanctioning bodies to learn from them, to conduct courses for the referees and judges and so on,” he added.
The fraternity welcomed the new commission. Boxer-turned-promoter Hamzah Farouk, who is organising the Syed Kadir championship, called it a “wonderful initiative”. Professional boxer Amanda Chan, 35, said: “I’m grateful that the bar is being set to bring the levels of boxing to international standard and the commission is run by veterans in the sport who are knowledgeable, up to date and have the fighters’ best interest at heart.
