Pleases refer to the Terms and Conditions page. Title belt holders can retain a belt if they defend a title three times after winning. If they move up a weight or change to a Senior, they must resign the current title and challenge for the next at the new division. When challenging, thought must be taken into the circumstances of each boxer and whether there is enough time and opportunity available to retain a belt.

The Home Counties Challenge Belts are prestigious and expensive items. The cost to replace belts is borne out of the revenue generated from the Challenge Belt process and not from general Home Counties finances. Without any administration fees, the Challenge Belts could not be replaced and the title belt opportunity would cease operation.

The administrators will look for club and/or championship shows that are able to hold these title bouts. They will look for opportunities that are fair to both boxers and clubs with regard to location and date. These will be agreed with both boxers clubs. Where no agreement can be found, the administrators will attempt to find another suitable show. However, clubs must bear in mind that failure to defend a title within the 2 month period may make the title become vacant. Clubs must make every effort to agree a suitable venue and date.

The Home Counties Challenge Belts are administered independently of the Home Counties. Any communication with regard to the Challenge Belts must go through the designated communication channels via email, Web contact or social media platforms. Questions of other groups will not be answered.

The bout coordinator must be contacted with a valid reason for withdrawal. Injury or illness may be deemed to be valid. However frivolous withdrawals, continued withdrawals, withdrawals without reason will result in a sanction fee of £50 and loss of challenge opportunity or declaring the title vacant.

Home Counties Challenge Belts represent an opportunity to test yourselves against the best of the best. This needs to be done on a level playing field where both boxers have the best opportunity to perform at their highest level. Home Show advantage with regard to support and comfort with location are deemed to be an unfair advantage.

No. The title belt has been won by the boxer. The boxers club, along with the boxer, has a responsibility to ensure the belt is kept in good condition and is available for return to the Home Counties on request. The title belt holder must inform the Challenge Belt administrator on changing clubs and the new club must acknowledge receipt of the challenge belt responsibility regarding care and availability.
