We will continue with our drive for a return to competitive Boxing, working closely with Public Health Scotland, sportscotland and our medical commission. Through the patience and sacrifice our affiliated clubs have made, we have been able to bring back pads and sparring for under 18’s for Levels 0-3 with the exception of Level 4. This we believe this will be our stepping stone for a return to competition and will continue working on our Bring Back Boxing documentation.
