Abstract
Rather than dwell on the long, and sometimes, corrupt nature of boxing, which is established elsehwere (La Motta, 1997; Lazaroff, 1990; Sammons, 1990; Neiman, 2008; Norridge, 2008) our focus is on the more ‘modern’ version of the sport. We therefore focus on the different types of fraud and corrpution found in ‘modern’ boxing. This is done by examining the roles of the main ‘participants’ involved in the sport, such as boxers, managers, promoters and sanctioning bodies and how they have contributed to and committed acts of fraud and corruption.
