The Development of Women and Girls Amateur Boxing
The ABAE appointed Rebecca Gibson as the first National Women's Boxing Development Manager in February 2008, based on the domestic and international growth of the sport for women and girls. Rebecca's role is to develop the sport with an emphasis on increasing participation and improving the infrastructure to enable women and girls to fulfil their potential.
To provide a clear direction for the development of women's boxing in England a national strategy has been produced which can be downloaded here:
