Boxer Introduction
The Professional Boxing Association (PBA) is proud to announce its development into Muay Thai, setting a standard for safety, regulation, and professionalism within the sport. The PBA has been granted a first of its kind global insurance policy and is positioned to sanction and regulate Muay Thai events worldwide. Hitman Fight League has taken a pioneering step in becoming the first officially recognised Muay Thai promotion. This decision by Hitman Fight League prioritises boxer safety and the long-term growth of Muay Thai as a sport and enables Hitman Fight League to operate as a fully regulated promotion moving forward.
What This Means for You
As a boxer competing on Hitman Fight League events, you will be part of a structured and regulated system designed to protect your health and safety. This ensures that you are fit to compete to a medical standard accepted in other sanctioned combat sports. You shall also be protected by the PBA’s high-risk personal injury boxer insurance policy when competing on PBA sanctioned events.
Steps to Becoming a Regulated Boxer

- Retain the results of this OCT eye test, as you will need to present them to the doctor at your annual medical examination.
2. Annual Boxing Medical Examination
- You are required to undergo a full annual boxing medical.
- This will be conducted at the weigh-in by the event doctor.
- Present your OCT Eye Test results to the doctor during this medical examination.
3. PBA Licensing
- Upon successfully passing the medical examination, the doctor will declare you fit to box.
- You will then be issued a PBA Muay Thai License, valid for 12 months.
- With this license, you are able to compete in any PBA-sanctioned Muay Thai event within that 12 month period.
Membership & Insurance Costs
- Annual PBA License Fee: £50 per annum (automatically deducted from fight purse).
- Per-Fight Boxer Insurance Fee: £20 per bout (covered by Hitman Fight League as part of their operational costs).
