THE PROMOTER AND THE EUROPEAN BOXING COUNCIL (EBC)
Signed Contest Contracts between the promoter of the contest and each boxer for a Championship contest must be submitted to the European Boxing Council (EBC) no later than fifteen (15) days following tentative sanction approval. A form Contest Contract is available on the European Boxing Council (EBC) website. If the Challenger does not sign the contract, the EBC will offer the contest to the leading available contender or will withdraw sanction of the contest. If the Champion does not sign the contract, disciplinary action will be taken which can include vacating the title.
For each Championship contest, the promoter of such contest shall obtain a sanction from the European Boxing Council (EBC) and pay sanction fees to the amounts listed below:

The European Boxing Council has the power to prohibit any contest which, in our opinion, is not in the interests of boxing, as such the EBC are unable to provide a guarantee that any submitted match-up will be given permission, even late replacements.
Please note, like the Boxing fan, European Boxing Council want evenly matched bouts, between boxers of equal stature, but to the same degree we also understand that sometimes there may be an occasion when this cannot be avoided, such as when there is a late change of opponent after the original opponent has pulled out for whatever reason and there is not an opponent of equal stature available at such short notice.
Should a situation of this type arise the European Boxing Council have excellent working relationships with promoters and match makers throughout Europe and may be able to assist in sourcing a suitable replacement, as such it is advisable to contact EBC head office if such a situation occurs.
The European Boxing Council want your event to be a success and as such will assist if possible, as we do understand that circumstances that may have led to such requests may not be the promoters making and as such will do everything we can to ensure that the EBC European Championship gets to go ahead, even if that means with an opponent of lesser stature than would normally be acceptable.
However, it should be noted that the European Boxing Council does have the power to intervene in extreme cases of mis-matching, a power which is exercised from time to time, as the European Boxing Council’s prime concern is the health and safety of the boxers.
