Athlete Categorisation

The Athlete categorisation for Boxing for 2022 has been completed in line with the Athlete Categorisation Guidelines published on the Boxing Australia (BAL) and CombatAUS websites.

The sport-industry wide National Categorisation Framework consists of five levels across the Podium Pathway: Podium, Podium Ready, Podium Potential, Developing and Emerging. The Athlete Categorisation Criteria for Boxing aligns, as is required, with these five Podium Pathway categories. The International Category is no longer part of the National Categorisation Framework, however there is now Boxing-specific Commonwealth Games Medal Potential category to recognise athletes that don't currently meet the performance requirements for the Podium Pathway but are internationally experienced boxers deemed to have medal potential at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
