basically it started in the US when you started having buisiness men in New York going to the boxing gyms to keep fit. When they got better and more interested in actually taking part in boxing they decided to set up White Collar Boxing as they wasn't good enough for the pro game and too old for amateur. So it stemmed from their really the idea caught on over in the UK and they called it Fight Club (after the film). But over the years it has improved more and more and its hardly any buisiness men in it really (from my experience anyway) its more, ex amateurs, young lads who want to earn a bit of extra cash and In my case just a bit of experience although I want to go amateur soon. Its not unlicensed although it isnt sanctioned by the British Boxing board. Theres always a medical for every boxer before fights and a weigh in. I've heard rumours of fight fixing but not in the one I box in which is the BBU but there is more like EBF, Fightclub etc. I boxed at one at the guildhall in portsmouth which is a pretty big venue and it was sell out so people are definately interested in it. If you're interested in getting involved i'll try n find out where your nearest local gym is if you like?
