Click HERE to view an Important Message from our President to the Association Dear Members,      Some of you may have already received this letter, but the subject of open betting at one of our, or maybe more than one of our shows is most important. This practice must stop, its against USA Boxing rules and the State of Florida law. If I receive  proof and a grievance, the club or clubs and the Officials or Coaches involved, I will take action that may result in suspension of those that are guilty. If in the future, anyone knows this is happening at any shows, please let me or who ever is in charge, know at once. These practices have shut down amateur boxing in other States and I'll not tolerate these practices happening in our Association or any other Associations.   Thank You All,  Bob Nicholson / President and Registration of Florida Association

Dear Florida Association USA Boxing Members: Some of you have had questions regarding the sanctioning of events and who has the right to grant amateur boxing sanctions. Although USA Boxing is the National Governing Body of Amateur Boxing within the United States, in which Federal Law granted us autonomy under the Ted Stevens Amateur Sports act, the State of Florida has it within their power to grant and supervise sanctions under State Statute 548.005. For those of you that choose to apply for sanctioning privileges; USA Boxing and the State of Florida have one primary concern, and that is the safety of the boxer. All rules must apply which include the use of certified officials, specific age and weight divisions, certified physicians and liability and accident insurance for the venue, officials and boxers. As with all amateur boxing contests, headgear must also be worn and appropriated glove weights. Those who choose to go that way will be subject to suspension from USA Boxing, if all criteria are not met. The State Athletic Commission through their given authority will supervise, however for the safety of the athlete, I would encourage all of you to make sure every I is dotted and every T is crossed. Thank for your understanding. Sincerely yours, Frank Filiberto MD
