Adaptive Boxing Allies

The AABC also welcomes adaptive boxing allies. Allies are participants without disability who train alongside adaptive boxers and help create safe, inclusive and meaningful boxing experiences.

They play an important role in supporting adaptive athletes while becoming valued members of the boxing community themselves.
