    are these guys genuine contenders against the bbboc or just another dodgy outfit?:thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking:

    These are the 'authority' sanctioning the Nigel benn fight. Anyone know any more about them?

    What is their jurisdiction? If I phoned Nige* and said come round to mine and you can fight that lad in my back yard**, would it be the same?

    * I don't have his number
    ** It's a small back yard

    It seems it's like everything else in boxing, people just make it up as they go along depending on what makes them the most money. See the various alphabet sanctioning bodies...

    Am going to do them a new logo. It looks like it belongs on a nuclear sub from the 50's.

    Hypothetical question, that maybe somebody more informed than me could answer: What would happen if there was a serious injury or fatality in a BIBA sanctioned fight? Would it be treated the same way as a licensed fight, i.e an accident in a sport? Or would this be a criminal case/unlawful? What separates a BIBA sanctioned/white collar fight and a BBBoC fight? Are the BBBoC recognised by the government perhaps?

    White collar outfit -- but trying to say it is pro boxing. I've no problem with white collar / non-pro boxing but dont call it pro boxing...

    It is technically pro boxing. We have the bbbc and biba, both technically do the same thing. Suppose it’s like the farts with the 2 different organisations.

    Biba is a joke but sometimes it’s the only route left/open to some boxers. Scot Harrison return fight last year was meant to be with biba but he pulled out in the hope of getting his Bbbc one back
