I am calling for change in England Boxing’s match rules to protect the fairness and integrity of the sport. As someone who loves boxing and has witnessed numerous amateur matches, it's disheartening to see the evident bias that taints the outcomes of so many fights. It's clear that changes must be made to ensure fairness for all boxers stepping into the ring.

One significant problem is the ability of referees to look at judges' scorecards during the match. This opens the door for biased decisions and unjust point deductions, which can drastically alter the course of a match and the career of young boxers. To address this, we propose a strict rule: referees should be absolutely prohibited from consulting the judges' scorecards during an amateur boxing match. If a referee fails to adhere to this rule, they should face dismissal from their position.

Implementing this rule will contribute to a fairer and more transparent sport. It ensures that all fights are judged purely on the performance of the boxers, without external influences swaying the final decision. This change will not only benefit individual careers, but will also preserve the integrity of amateur boxing as a whole.

Let's come together to make this critical change to safeguard the fairness of amateur boxing. By creating a level playing field, we can boost the confidence of amateur boxers and nurture the future talents of the boxing world without the fear of biased outcomes.

Please sign this petition to demand that England Boxing immediately adopts this rule. Your signature could be the stepping stone towards a fairer and more just boxing environment for everyone involved.
