White collar to amateur boxing possible?

I've read and been told conflicting things on this subject. If you box on a white collar event can you then compete as an amateur?
Never boxed before but a few years ago as a teenager I was training a lot and due to get medical so I could compete. This never materialised but I have wanted to get back into it. When I saw the white collar event advertised I signed up because i'm guaranteed a bout on the date. However, I don't want to jeopardize any chance of boxing properly in the future. I'm in the UK.
Thanks for any help. :thumbsup

 

Thanks for all the help. I will get in touch with the aba to try and get a definitive answer.

Requesting clearance to register an athlete with previous combat experience

(updated February 2015)

Since implementation of AIBA rules on 01.01.14, any person with previous individual combat sport experience wishing to join England Boxing (as a boxer), was required to seek clearance, via the National Federation, from AIBA.

To date there has been no formal, laid down procedure from AIBA to enable this clearance to be sought and we have submitted several email cases over the last few months, which are currently still pending a response from Lausanne.

Since submission of our cases AIBA have amended the rules, now enabling a national federation to grant clearance for membership in certain circumstances and under additional conditions (see AIBA Technical Rule 1.9, as stated on the request form). They have also now provided a formal process for federations to adopt and follow in order to process those requests. Any granted requests must then be registered with AIBA.

We attach a copy of the process to follow and the relevant form for your association to use in order to request clearance for membership. The process takes effect immediately.

The basic process, which is attached in flowchart format for ease of understanding, requires that;-

The proposed boxing member:

Must demonstrate acceptance of the additional membership conditions in writing, by receiving, signing and returning the provided form to their association
Must formally declare their previous combat experience on the provided form, before clearance for membership can be sought

The association:

Declares, at the outset, the intended weight category and classification of the proposed boxing member
Signs and sends the original of the completed form to the NGB office, by recorded delivery or tracked postal service.
Will not grant boxer membership or register the proposed member until approval has been received from the national federation

The national federation:

Will review the request for membership clearance and either approve or reject it
Will notify the association of the result of the request
Will send any approved requests to AIBA for recording on their database records
The process for requesting clearance (flowchart)

Request to register an athlete form (to be completed by the athlete and his or her association)


Previously submitted requests

Unfortunately, those associations who have previously sent in written requests for clearance will need to resubmit all requests using this method, completed and signed forms.

Turnaround at the NGB office is expected to take up to 21 days.

Unlicensed/White Collar Boxing


Please note that, we are now able to receive requests for membership from boxers with unlicensed/white collar boxing experience, which has been classified as “Other Combat Sport”.
