Martin Stark
I set up WGBC to show that LGBTQIA+ people and our allies belong in the ring and can be Olympic Champions and World Boxing Champions. We disrupt homophobia, transphobia and hatred through increasing LGBTQIA+ inclusion and participation.
Boxing is for everyone!
Message from the CEO
We are the world's first accredited amateur boxing competition for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies from 18-22 February 2023. The championships will be held at Australian Turf Club's The Winx Stand conducted under Boxing Australia rules and sanctioned by Boxing Australia NSW. There will be up to 200 Australian and international boxers competing over five days. This is authentic boxing celebrating champions and the unifying spirit of sport. We want to hold the best boxing event on the planet.
Meet some of our fighters and supporters...
ARE YOU READY, AUSTRALIA?
