2020 Coming to a close

As previous years have been, this one will go down in the history books as one of the worst ever, not just for boxing but for businesses, family and sport in general.

Here we are just days away from Xmas and the New Year and we're dealt yet another blow! BA have announced that the Youth selection event scheduled for Feb has been cancelled and due to the COVID situation around the world and specifically Poland, Australia will not be sending a team to compete in the youth Worlds in 2021.

The Boxing Queensland committee would like to thank our athletes, coaches, officials & volunteers for all their assistance throughout 2020.

It has been the most challenging year that we have ever faced and without working together we would not have been able to achieve what we did.

A special mention to Frankie Pianto from Eastside Boxing Club for the use of his venue & to our committee members who have worked tirelessly to make sure that there was some form of competition for our athletes to compete at this year.

Next year will see us revert back to clubs hosting tournaments provided COVID restrictions keep easing, if there is any change BQ will reassess and advise as needed.

The 2021 calendar is starting to fill up, with plenty of tournaments already scheduled. If you would like to host a tournament, please look at the calendar for available dates before submitting your request, once you find a date that suites, Head over to the events page and complete the tournament request form. Please ensure you complete the form in full with correct details as it will be rejected if not.

Boxing Qld will be closing down over the Xmas New year period commencing as of this weekend and will re open on Monday the 18th Jan.

We will still accept tournament request forms and keep the calendar up to date, so clubs can start scheduling what events they would like to attend.

Please do not attempt to register your club or boxers until we have advised that the 2021 registration is open.

We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Xmas and a happy  New Year.

Regards & Best wishes

The committee
