WELCOME
In 1983, the State Boxing Commission, which was
created by the Legislature in 1931, was renamed
the State Athletic Commission. The
Commission consists of five members appointed by
the Governor, with the advice and consent of the
Senate. Members serve without pay, at the
will and pleasure of the Governor, for a term of
four-years. The Commission has sole
direction, management and control of the
jurisdiction over all amateur, professional and
semi-professional boxing, sparing matches and
exhibitions, or any form thereof, to be
conducted, held or given within the state of
West Virginia by any club, individual,
corporation or association. The term boxing
includes any fighting event that includes or
permits the striking of an opponent with a
closed fist, even if wrestling moves, elements
of martial arts, or striking of an opponent with
the feet are also permitted. No boxing,
sparing or exhibition may be conducted, held or
given within this State except pursuant to the
Commission's authority and must be held in
accordance with article 5A, chapter 29 of the
West Virginia Code. The Commission
appoints the referees and judges; and appoints
its members a chairman and secretary.
