The Chair of World Boxing’s Athletes Committee, Caitlin Parker, has backed the International Federation’s work to promote clean sport and urged all boxers, coaches and technical staff from its member National Federation to sign-up to an upcoming series of educational webinars.
The webinars will be delivered by the International Testing Agency (ITA), which provides all of World Boxing’s anti-doping services and clean sport activities, and are designed to provide education on the importance of clean sport; testing and the anti-doping process; recent developments in anti-doping; and information on The Prohibited List, Medications, TUEs and Supplements.
Caitlin Parker, who won a middleweight bronze medal for Australia at Paris 2024 and was recently elected as the first ever Chair of World Boxing’s Athlete Committee, said: “As athletes, we are responsible for what goes into our bodies and how we show up in our sport. Education like this is really important to help everyone make better decisions and keep our sport clean.
“Everyone affiliated with World Boxing, whether you’re a boxer, coach, or wider team member, should be signing up for these sessions. Staying informed is the best way to protect everyone in boxing.”
The education programme is made-up of three webinars in April and May 2026 organised by the ITA in collaboration with World Boxing.
