Answer

As mentioned earlier, the BMA believe that boxing has no place on the sporting line-up, especially for international competitions promoting a message of peace and harmony. Inclusion of women’s boxing in the Olympic programme would encourage more girls to take up boxing, due to the high profile of the games. The BMA continues to call for a ban on boxing in all forms.
