World Boxing is committed to ensuring that boxers have a voice in the development of the organisation and has two Athlete Representatives on its Executive Board. These positions are currently held by Caitlin Parker from Australia and the USA’s Richard Torrez Jr, who won silver at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
They are supplemented by an Athletes Committee which is responsible for representing the views of boxers worldwide and providing advice, guidance and opinions to World Boxing.
The current members of the Athletes Committee, along with Caitlin and Richard, are Buse Naz Çakıroğlu (Turkiye), Daniel Pitt (Wales), Cesar Yojerlin (France) and Zareen Nikhat (India).
As members of the Athletes Committee they are regularly consulted on relevant matters to ensure the views of boxers are reflected in World Boxing’s decision making. They also represent the organisation publicly and are invited to attend and contribute to meetings of the Executive Board and the World Boxing Congress.
