PLL Legal & Cross-Border Practice

Sport focus

Boxing

Promotional and management agreements, purse disputes, sanctioning body decisions and licence matters.

Boxing sits between sanctioning bodies, promoters and managers, each with its own paperwork. Purse splits, option clauses and mandatory defences are where the arguments start.

We review and negotiate promotional and bout agreements, challenge ranking and sanctioning decisions and act in medical suspension and licensing matters.
