ABA - THE HOME OF AUCKLAND BOXING

ABOUT US

Welcome to the Auckland Boxing Association, the proud home of amateur boxing in Tāmaki Makaurau. As an affiliated regional body of Boxing New Zealand, we are dedicated to developing boxers, coaches, and officials from grassroots level right through to elite national representation. With a proud history spanning generations, Auckland has long been a powerhouse of New Zealand boxing, producing national champions, international representatives, and role models within our communities. We work closely with clubs across the region to deliver safe, structured competitions, development pathways, and high-performance opportunities, while upholding the values of discipline, respect, and resilience that define our sport. Whether you are stepping into a boxing gym for the first time or chasing national honours, the Auckland Boxing Association exists to support, guide, and grow the sport we are proud to represent.

The Boxing New Zealand Athlete Commission has recently been established, and one of our priorities is to make sure we are genuinely representing the voices, experiences and needs of our athletes.

We have put together a short athlete survey to give boxers across New Zealand an opportunity to have their say. We would really appreciate your help in sharing the survey with your athletes and encouraging them to complete it.

The survey covers things such as:

  • How athletes would like to hear from the Athlete Commission
  • How often they would like to receive communication
  • What support or information they would find valuable
  • Any issues or areas they feel could be improved
  • What they would like the Athlete Commission to focus on

The survey is intentionally short and should only take a few minutes to complete.

There is also an optional opportunity for athletes to provide their email address if they would like to receive our future Athlete Commission newsletters and updates. This will help us build a direct communication list with athletes who would like to stay connected with the Commission.

We are keen to hear from athletes at all levels and stages of their boxing journey — from those currently competing through to those who may have stepped away from the ring.

Thank you for helping us get this out to your athletes. The more athlete voices we hear, the better we can represent and advocate for them.

Ngā mihi,

Troy Garton

Interim Chair Boxing NZ Athlete Commission
