Message From The CEO

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!

Who-is-World-Gay-Boxing-Championships?

We are an Australian not-for-profit committed to increasing LGBTQIA+ and ally inclusion and representation in the sport whether you are a competitor, participate in boxing training, or are a fan! We successfully delivered the world's first accredited amateur boxing competition for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies as part of Sydney WorldPride. 

We are thrilled to partner with Out 100 winner Diego La Velle Cevallos-Garzon the owner of Strong Hands Gym, the first LGBTQ+ gym in Chicago, for the second Championships on 20 June 2024.
