PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Boxing Australia both in

and out of the ‘ring’, if not

achieving all we would

have wished, has had a

successful year.

The Gold medals won by

Shelley Watts and Andrew Moloney and the

Silver medal won by Joe Goodall at the 2014

Glasgow Commonwealth Games provided a

great ‘start’ to our boxer’s ring activities over

the last 12 months.

We have had boxers represent Australia

proudly at the 2014 Elite Women’s World

Championships, the 2015 Men’s Junior World

Championships, the 2015 Women’s Junior and

Youth World Championships, the 2015 Elite

Men’s World Championships, the 2015

Oceania Championships, the 2015

Commonwealth Youth Games and many

international tournaments.

All boxers, coaches and managers of these

teams are thanked for their representation of

Australia. Particular attention should be drawn

to the success of the 2015 Commonwealth

Youth Games Team and its four medallists;

Gold Medallist, Jack Bowen (U52 kg), Silver

Medallist, Tyler Blizzard (U49 kg) and Bronze

Medallists, George Payne (U56 kg) and Jack

Gipp (U69 kg).

Elsewhere in this Report there is detailed

information of the achievements of our

Australian boxers.

Kable Kelleway, after 5 years as CEO of Boxing

Australia has moved to new employment. I and

the Board of Boxing Australia thank him for his

great contribution to the development of our

Sport. Kable often worked 24/7 for Boxing

Australia and the Board wishes him well in his

future sports management career.

Paul Grogan is Kable’s successor as CEO. He is

an experienced sport administrator and the

Board is confident the future management of

our Sport is in competent hands.

The highlight of the year for Boxing Australia

was, of course, the 2015 Australian

Championships hosted at Paradise Point by

Boxing Queensland. It was a large and well

organised tournament conducted in a good

facility. The Board thanks Boxing Queensland

and the Queensland boxing community for

their hospitality and friendship.

Congratulations to the overall most successful

Team at the 2015 Australian Championships,

Boxing Victoria.

Another significant event for Boxing Australia

was its hosting of the 2015 Oceania

Championships at the Combat Centre of the

Australian Institute of Sport. The Australian

Team was the top team at these

Championships and nine of its members

qualified to compete in the Elite Men’s World

Championships.

Out of the ‘ring’ Boxing Australia continues its

mission of development of better governance

of our Sport.

Like it or not we live in a ‘corporate world’ and

must adapt to its requirements. Boxing

Australia is a Company Limited by Guarantee

and must comply with Australian Corporations

Law. As a recipient of over a million dollars

annually in Australia Government/Australian

Sports Commission funding Boxing Australia is

required to meet due corporate governance

standards. It is also the recipient of generous

funding from the Australian Commonwealth


Games Association and assistance from it and

the Australian Olympic Committee in athlete

and team development for Commonwealth

and Olympic Games and their international

association Youth Games. With these

organisations, also, Boxing Australia is required

to enter into agreements in regard to its

management of our Sport. And, Boxing

Australia has constitutional obligations to the

International Boxing Association (AIBA) in

regard to its management.

All of the foregoing results in a heavy

administrative workload for Boxing Australia,

both for our small number of staff and for the

Board members. Members of the Board of

Boxing Australia both deliberate on strategic

development decisions for our Sport and then

undertake the roles of unpaid, voluntary

workers in implementing many of the

decisions. For example, preparation of the

Anti-Doping Regulations, the Participant

Protection Regulations, the Technical and

Competition Regulations, the Commonwealth

and Olympic Teams Pathways, all Team

Nomination/Selection Criteria and all of Boxing

Australia’s other Regulations is undertaken by

Board Members.

Accordingly, Members of Boxing Australia’s

Board are required to have the expertise, the

experience and the time to administer and

develop our Sport because we do not have the

luxury of employing more staff to undertake

the work.

The Board members are conscious that due to

our heavy workloads we sometimes may

appear anonymous to our Sport’s community.

However, we are there and if we sometimes

have had our heads down for too long and

have not got out to you please do not hesitate

to contact us either at tournaments or by email

or telephone.

I am pleased to advise that development of

Boxing Australia’s BoxFit fitness program is

greatly advanced. Paul Perkins has been

engaged as the program’s manager and it is

anticipated that under his management it will

be introduced to the Australian market in the

coming year and commence to produce an

income stream for the benefit of our Sport.

However, a particular disappointment to the

Board during the year was the acceptance that

the intended development of the Boxing

Australia IT communication and database

system could not be delivered as expected.

The Board and CEO are currently reviewing an

Australia-wide IT communication and database

system which we intend to roll out as soon as

possible for our Sport.

This communication and database system will

be integral to the future management and

development of our Sport as through it, Boxing

Australia and the Member Associations will be

able to manage their future legal and

corporate obligations and the development of

our Sport.

Some of the benefits envisaged from this

system are that all participants in our Sport can

be directly and immediately advised by the

Board of Boxing Australia or their Member

Association Committee of Management of

opportunities to participate in boxing

development camps, training courses,

upcoming tournaments throughout Australia

and rule changes as well as better convenience

and a record ‘trail’ of monies paid for courses,

insurance, registrations and memberships.

If our Sport is to compete and develop in the

Australian community of the future the ‘horse

and buggy’ days of ‘when I have the time, ad

hoc’ attention to administration will have to be

overhauled. The proposed IT communication

and database system is the intelligent and

work efficient future way.


On behalf of the Board I thank Boxing

Australia’s sponsors. In particular, I thank the

Australian Sports Commission, the Australian

Institute of Sport and the Australian

Commonwealth Games Association for their

generous financial and practical support. I

thank, also, the Australian Olympic Committee,

Sting Sports and Signature Mouthguards for

their valued support.

I thank Boxing Australia’s administration staff

for their support; Kable Kelleway for his past

work, and Josh O’Brien, Viv Merrill and Paul

Perkins for their conscientious contributions.

And, of course, the work of our coaching staff,

Kevin Smith, Don Abnett and Jamie Pittman, is

gratefully acknowledged.

Finally, I thank my Boxing Australia Board

colleagues for their many hours of honorary

work on behalf of our Sport.

With best wishes to all in our Sport,

Ted Tanner

President

Boxing Australia Ltd.


MESSAGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS

COMMISSION

The past year has seen considerable success and progress for Australian sport on the world stage, for the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and our elite sport partners and athletes.

The Government’s 2014–15 investment of nearly $120 million continues to be refined to ensure funding is aligned to sports with the greatest potential to contribute to Australia’s Winning Edge 2012–2022 targets and maximise our chances at success. Since Winning Edge was launched, the AIS re-allocated $20 million of high performance funding among sports and boosted direct athlete funding (dAIS) by $3.6 million or 40 per cent. The Sports Tally 2015 — the annual report card for Australian sports — revealed promising signs as we gear up for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, while highlighting some of the challenges presented by our performance at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. In March the Commission launched Play.Sport.Australia. — our plan to help NSOs build participation in sport and make sure all Australians enjoy its benefits. Sports have the opportunity to attract more than 4.5 million Australians into their communities. It’s

important that we work together to ensure that more Australians, particularly young Australians, participate in sport more often and that we have strong organisations that deliver the products and opportunities Australians want. Some highlights in 2014-15 included:

Personal excellence — The most significant athlete wellbeing program in AIS history, incorporating myAISPlaybook — a new high performance athlete learning and development platform.

AIS Sports Draft — Athletes selected in this fast-tracked development came together at the AIS to share their journeys as they transition to Olympic or Commonwealth Games sports.

AIS Centre for Performance Coaching and Leadership — More than 45 coaches graduated from the centre, providing development and mentoring for our brightest coaches and administrators.

As our attention starts to focus on Rio and the

major events leading up to the Games, I look

forward to the ASC teaming up with your

organisation to help put our athletes in the best

possible position and enhance our chances of

success.

Mr John Wylie AM Chair Australian Sports Commission 30 June 2015

provide support to boxing.

In 2014/15 the Australian Sports Commission

provided Boxing Australia with grants through

their Participation, Sports Governance and

advice and in particular Simon Hollingsworth,

Matt Favier, Geoff Howes, James Ceely, Beth

Warren, Paul Templeman, Adam Castle and

Ben Kirk.

and accountable for leading the delivery of

Australia’s international sporting success.

In 2014/15 the Australian Institute of Sport

provided Boxing Australia with assistance

through their High Performance grants,

Competitive Innovation Fund and the AIS

Combat Centre.

I’d like to thank Matt Favier, Dean Kenneally,

Andrew Logan, Nick Brown, Phil Bougeaud,

Angela Ryder, Andrew Pratley, Clare

Humberstone and Vince Cosentini for their

support and guidance.

AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH GAMES

ASSOCIATION SUPPORT

The Australian Commonwealth Games

Association played a big supporting role to

Boxing Australia during the 2014/15 year.

The highlight was our participation in the 2014

Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

The ACGA provided significant leadership and

assistance to Boxing Australia and the boxing

team in preparation to and our participation at

this event.

The ACGA also provided significant financial

investment throughout this period through

their ‘Go Glasgow’ and the ‘NextGen’ program

grants.

I would like to acknowledge and thank retiring

CEO Perry Crosswhite for all his help and

assistance over the years. I wish you all the

best in retirement. A big welcome to new CEO

Craig Phillips. Finally, to Diane Gallagher and

her team for their huge effort in getting the

team to Glasgow for the Commonwealth

Games and preparing the Youth Team for the

2015 Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa.

AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE SUPPORT

In 2014/15 the AOC provided support to

Boxing Australia through our participation at

our preparation and planning for the 2016 Rio

Olympic Games. The AOC also provided travel

assistance for Australian members of the AIBA

Executive Committee.

Thank you to outgoing CEO Craig Phillips and

all the best with your new role with the ACGA.

Congratulations to Fiona de Jong on her

appointment as CEO. We look forward to

working with Fiona and her team in the lead up

to the Olympic Games.

AIBA Commissions, including the Executive

Commission, Rules Commission, RJ

was conducted in January 2015. Various RJ’s

headed overseas to participate in Star 3, WSB

Signature Mouthguards

CONCLUSION

This is my last CEO’s Report, as I have resigned

post the 2014/15 financial year. It has been an

amazing journey and absolute privilege to

work with Boxing Australia.

I’d like to thank the Board of Boxing Australia

and, in particular, our President Ted Tanner.

Thank you for your leadership, guidance and

assistance throughout the years.

Thanks to our staff in Kevin Smith, Don Abnett,

Josh O’Brien, Vivien Merrill, Paul Perkins and

Jamie Pittman for your efforts and dedication.

Best wishes to Mark Wilson who resigned from

his position late in the financial year. Mark has

made a significant contribution to the

development of our junior and youth boxers.

In the past five years, we have made

considerable progress as an organisation.

Some of the highlights include: governance

reform, constitutional change, trademarking,

combined insurance policies, re-accreditation

of coach and RJ courses, increased social media

and communication, investment into women’s

high performance programs, three world

junior champions, a return to the podium at

the Commonwealth Games, top 8

performances at benchmark events, re-

establishment of National Head Office with

employees, establishment of the AIS Combat

Centre and many more.

While there has been great progress, there is

still a lot of hard work, tough decisions and

relationships to be developed to ensure that

Boxing Australia becomes a sustainable

organisation with capacity and capability.

I will no doubt keep a keen eye on the

organisation’s development and look forward

to it growing from strength to strength under

the leadership of the new CEO and the current

Board.

On a final note, I’d like to thank all the Member

Associations, boxers, coaches, referees &

judges, standing committee members, officials

and volunteers that have not only contributed

to the 2014/15 year, but have made me feel

welcome and provided me with the support,

assistance and knowledge that has aided

Boxing Australia’s strategic and operational

direction.

All the best.

Kable Kelleway

Chief Executive Officer

DEVELOPMENT REPORT

In 2014/15 Boxing Australia continued to build

off initiatives which commenced the previous

financial year. Another AIBA Star 1 coach

course was held, strengthening our national

coaching pool. The BAL Development Program

grew in its second year and reached more club

boxers and coaches in regional locations.

Work continued on developing the 2014-2018

Sports Development Plan, which will provide a

road map for activity and accountability.

Exciting times are ahead for Boxing Australia,

as the appointment of a Fitness and

Participation Manager occurred in June. The

position will drive the BoxFit course

development which will have major

implications on our participation numbers and

commercial objectives.

PARTICIPATION

Boxing Australia had a small increase (2.4%) in

participation in 2014/15 (1905 registered

boxers) compared to 2013/14 (1860 registered

boxers). Participation relates to competition

boxers. New markets such as the fitness

industry could see participation numbers

increase in large volumes.

BOX’TAG

In the last twelve months Dr. Richard Helmer

has intensively pursued the establishment of a

commercial supply chain for the sensor vests

with the aim of increasing manufacturability

and reducing costs. A supply chain is now

established that is able to produce a laminated

e-stripe sensor fabric vest that was previously

only available from a research organisation.


Actions aimed at improving the user-

friendliness of the software component of the

Box’Tag scoring technology have also been

rapidly and successfully implemented.

An educational resource titled ‘Ideas for

Box’Tag Coaches and Athletes’ was recently

created and launched on the interactive

As part of the Sport Development Plan, BAL has

created the new and exciting position of

Fitness and Participation Manager. The role

will initially assist with the development and

rollout of the Boxing Australia BoxFit course.

Congratulations to Paul Perkins who was

appointed to the role in late June 2015.

The BoxFit course has been specifically

designed for the fitness industry and will

provide personal trainers and group fitness

leaders with the skills and knowledge they

need to successfully plan, deliver and coach

non-combative boxing-specific fitness

sessions. The content for the course has been

developed from Boxing Australia’s high

performance program and includes inputs

from Boxing Australia’s Head Coach Kevin

Smith, and National Development Coach Don

Abnett.

In addition, to assisting with development and

rollout of the Boxing Australia BoxFit course,

the Fitness and Participation Manager will be

investigating ways to significantly increase

participation rates through the introduction of

modified, low-risk forms of boxing.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Development Program enjoyed a strong

2014/15 after its launch in late 2013/14.

Regional Development Coaches have now

been appointed in every state/territory, with

each coach given personal training and

development in order to deliver the camps in

line with the national content.

493 boxers and 145 coaches attended

Development Camps in 2014/15.

National leadership and support is provided by

National Development Coach Don Abnett and

National Regional Development Coach Jamie

Pittman.

R&J DEVELOPMENT

Over the past 12 months the RJ Committee has

continued to implement activities, embarked

on a number of new projects, overseen the

conduct of RJ at BAL events, conduct seminars,

and pleasingly, seen the selection of our RJ and

officials to AIBA events. Boxing Australia

Referee & Judges Committee Chair Wayne

Rose has provided an in-depth report later in

this Annual Report.

2014/15 saw an increase in accredited RJs at

national level, while AIBA accredited RJs

remained steady.

Comparison of Accredited RJs

Level 12/13 13/14 14/15

AUS 1-Star 70 74 90

AUS 2-Star 25 19 32

AUS 3-Star 11 8 10

REFEREES & JUDGES REPORT

Over the past 12 months the R&J Committee

has continued to implement activities,

embarked on a number of new projects,

overseen the conduct of R&J at BAL events,

conducted seminars, and pleasingly, seen the

selection of our R&J to AIBA events.

1-STAR R&J ACCREDITATION fffffffffffffffffffff

Each Member Association has a trained R&J

who is authorised and provided the resources

to conduct introductory seminars and assess

candidates to Aust 1-Star accreditation level.

Furthermore, where requested, the R&J

Committee assists in the delivery of these

seminars and assessments where necessary.

15 R&J have been assessed to Aust 1-Star level

over the past 12 months.

2-STAR R&J ACCREDITATION ffffffffffffffffffff

The R&J Committee assess R&J to this level at

competitions that are approved, i.e., State

championships. In the past 12 months’ 16 R&J

have been assessed to this level.

3-STAR R&J ACCREDITATION fffffffffffffffffffff

3-Star assessments are conducted during

national championships or selection events

that are considered appropriate. In the past 12

months three R&J have been assessed for 3-

Star accreditation.

R&J SEMINARS & REFRESHERS fffffffffffffffffff

During the previous 12 months the R&J

Committee Chair has conducted four judge

seminars and five refreshers in QLD, NSW, VIC

and SA and the BAL Director, Dave Pike,

conducted one referee seminar in TAS. I am

aware that refreshers where also conducted in

ACT and WA and two judge’s seminars were

conducted in QLD by Terry Kidd.

JUNIOR OFFICIALS DEVELOPMENT SCHEME

This initiative continues to grow with VIC

taking a lead role through support from the

State development coach and NSW having

trained a number of young athletes and

accredited two to 1-Star level. The key is to

retain these young athletes and provide an

alternate outlet during and after their career

ends, and to overcome an aging R&J pool.

R&J AT AIBA INTERNATIONAL EVENTS fffffffff

During this reporting period Australian R&J

have officiated at the OCBC Championships,

European Games, Pacific Games and World

Series of Boxing (WSB).

FUTURE ACTIVITIES ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

The R&J Committee see a number of

challenges going forward and will continue to

work with the BAL Board to improve R&J

standards. Some of the identified challenges,

however, not conclusive, are:

Review and rewrite R&J introductory

presentations and refresher

presentations;

Work with the BAL staff to re-energise the

BAL R&J web page;

Attend MA refresher seminars to ensure

standardisation of content;

Align our performance to meet the BAL

Strategic Plan;

Work with BAL to introduce a BAL R&J

Development Coach and implement

strategies.

In closing, I would like to extend my thanks to

the current R&J Committee members, Ann

Tindall, Max Sulejmani, Terry Kidd and Dave

Pike for their support, drive and commitment

over the last 12 months.

Furthermore, I’d like to thank the BAL Board,

CEO, support staff and particularly Dave Pike,

BAL Director of Competition, for their

confidence in me as Chair.

WOMEN’S BOXING REPORT

The year started strongly with the

Commonwealth Games in Scotland where

women competed for the first time. Australia

had representatives in all three weight

divisions. Kristy Harris 51 kg, Shelley Watts 60

kg and Kaye Scott 75 kg. Both Kaye and Kristy

put on strong performances but unfortunately

were defeated in the Quarter Finals. Shelley

went on to win Gold defeating India. This was

an extremely strong performance by the

Australian women.

In August 2014 Youth Men and Women

competed in the Youth Olympics in China.

Caitlin Parker was the only Australian woman.

Caitlin showed great maturity and strength to

win a silver medal.

In November 2014 a team of Australian women

went to the 2014 World Championships in Jeju

South Korea. Lauren Camilleri at 48 kg and

Cherneka Johnson at 54 kg were both

unfortunately defeated in the Preliminary 1/16

round. Both competed strongly. In the

Preliminary round 1/8, both Kristy Harris at 51

kg (against Brazil) and Kaye Scott at 75 kg

(China) were unfortunately defeated despite

very strong performances. In the Quarter

Finals, Shelley Watts at 60 kg was defeated by

Azerbaijan this was one of the best bouts of the

tournament.

Since November 2014, women have competed

at the 2015 Australian Championships. There

were 57 women (36 Elite, 8 Youth, 9 Junior, 4

U/15) who competed at the Australian

Championships.

Women’s boxing is growing in Australia and

across the world. In Australia we are working

to increase the involvement of women in all

areas of the sport. In total there are 30 women

accredited as Referees and Judges. Of these

only three are accredited as Referees – one 3

star Australian, one 1 star – AIBA and one 2 star

- AIBA. There are two accredited as Judges 1

star – AIBA, and another two as 2 star – AIBA.

A lot of work needs to be done to attract

women as Referees and Judges particularly as

Referees.

There are approximately 115 women coaches

accredited in Australia. Of these we have Shara

Romer and Mercedas Taffe who have achieved

an AIBA 2 star and Leisha Vaughan who has

achieved an AIBA 1 star qualification. Whilst

the number of women coaches is increasing we

do need to encourage more women to obtain

their AIBA star ratings. It would be great to

have AIBA star 3 women coaches who can

corner our women at major international

events such as the AIBA World Championships.

There are an increasing number of women

getting involved as administrators. During the

2014-15 year every State Board and the Boxing

Australia Board had at least one women. Many

States have several women on the Boards. This

is a positive development which needs to

continue.

The first ever meeting to discuss development

and growth of women’s boxing was held at the

2015 Australian Championships. This meeting

had a large number of athletes, coaches and

administrators attend. It was an extremely

positive meeting with a number of action

items. Some of these are still being worked on

while others such as the new dedicated

women’s face book page was completed the

day after the meeting. It is hoped that these

meetings will continue to be held and will lead

to greater growth of women’s boxing in

Australia.

MASTERS BOXING REPORT

The major event for Masters boxing was the

2015 Masters Games held in South Australia

from 4 October to 10 October 2015. The

boxing competition was run from 4 October to

6 October 2015 in the main Games arena.

The event saw 173 competitors attend the

general weigh-in on 4 October. The officials,

doctors and administrators worked

exceptionally well to complete the weigh-in

and medicals within the 7.30 am – 10.00am

timeframe. The draw was completed by

12.30pm and the first session commenced at

1.30pm.

There were seven sessions of boxing held

across the three days. There were 116 bouts in

total including 15 special bouts for unmatched

competitors. In addition there were 4

Exhibitions conducted to enable competitors

not matched an opportunity to get in the ring.

The results can be broken down as follows:

Points 3:0 – 53

Points 2:1 – 34

TKO Injury – 7

TKO – 18

WO – 4

Only one boxer received a 30 day restriction

due to head shots. The majority of TKOs were

due to competitors being outclassed. The TKO

Injuries were 2 cuts, 4 shoulder/elbow injuries

and 1 fractured forearm.

The men and women competed ranging in ages

from 35 to 70 years. There were 12 Referees

and Judges who officiated at the Games two

from Victoria, two from NT, one from NSW and

seven from SA. Max Sulejmani was the

Supervisor.

The event was a great success and a testament

to Boxing SA who organised the event. The

athletes seemed to enjoy their time at the

event. The Masters Games organisers were

very impressed by the organisation of the

event and the fact that the feedback from

competitors and spectators was so positive.

The 2015 event saw an increase in competitors

from the 2013 and 2011 events. Masters is

growing across the country. Many States are

now including Masters bouts on their regular

tournaments. Those involved in Masters

boxing are keen to run another major event in

2016 and are looking forward to the Masters

Games in 2017 in Tasmania.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

2014/15 saw Boxing Australia return to the

podium at an Elite benchmark event for the

first time since 2006. 2 Gold medals and a

Bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games

were well backed up by pleasing performances

by our Youth boxers on the international stage.

A major milestone achieved in 2014/15 was

the finalisation and implementation of the

2014-2018 High Performance Plan. The plan

will provide Boxing Australia with strategic

direction for our programs through to the end

of 2018, which includes an important home

Commonwealth Games.

An increased importance was placed on the

education and development of home coaches.

As a part of this initiative, more club/state level

coaches were invited into national camps at

the AIS Combat Centre and also given the

opportunity to join teams overseas as an

assistant coach.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

Boxing Australia has continued to provide

opportunities for our categorised athletes to

train and compete at international level

throughout the year. BAL have also given

boxers the opportunity to stay and train at the

AIS for extended periods where they can also

engage with the SSSM staff on site. .

BOXING AUSTRALIA REGIONAL

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The BAL Regional Development Program

continues to be rolled out across the states and

has managed to engage more boxers and

coaches throughout Australia.

The purpose of the program is to identify

athletes earlier in the pathway and expose

more athletes and home coaches to more

standardised technical and tactical skills earlier

in their development phase.

This program is headed up by Don Abnett and

Jamie Pittman.

BOXING AUSTRALIA FUTURES

Mark Wilson stepped down as the National

Futures Coach this year after giving 15 years of

excellent service to Boxing Australia.

AIS COMBAT CENTRE

The boxing facility at the AIS continues to work

in collaboration with Judo, Wrestling and

Taekwondo under the umbrella of the Combat

Centre.

The centre continues to provide a facility for

National and high Performance teams,

financial support for international training

camos at the AIS, financial support for

categorised emerging (Youth) athletes to

access international tours and potential to

build capability through the recruitment of

PhD students to undertake research into

combat specific disciplines.

NATIONAL CAMPS

A number of National Camps were run

throughout the 2014/15 period. The camps

conducted serviced a variety of purposes, but

mainly acted as preparation or selection

camps.

with the Philippines National team at the AIS

Combat Centre 30 August – 13 September. The

the national training environment and

standards, while also being used as a selection

camp to select a team to an International

Training Camp in Thailand. Our boxers

competed well with Emma Lawson reaching

the Quarter-Final stage.

INTERNATIONAL TOURS

A strategic change occurred in 2013/14 to

focus on smaller teams travelling overseas,

talented youth boxers taking part in

international competition and training camps,

and hosting international countries at home

(within the AIS Combat Centre). In 2014/15

BAL continued to implement this strategy.

ORDER OF MERIT – STEPHEN DONKIN At a Special General Meeting in February 2015,

Stephen Donkin was awarded with Boxing

Australia’s Order of Merit for Outstanding and

Exceptional Service to the Sport of Boxing.

The award was presented to Steve at his home

in Sydney on March 5 by Boxing Australia

President Ted Tanner with Board members

Garry Moore, David Pike and Jim Ferguson.

The boxing community and Boxing Australia

were saddened by the passing away of Steve in

April 2015. Steve was the current President of

Boxing Australia (NSW) at the time of his

passing.

Steve was best known for his officiating

achievements, and was also an accomplished

coach. He attended numerous Australian

Championships and Oceania Championships.
