What is Boxer Contract Agreement – Washington, DC?
The Boxer Contract Agreement is the DC Combat Sports Commission contract in which a licensed promoter engages a licensed boxer for one boxing match in Washington, DC, fixing the opponent, weight, rounds and pay.
The form is a three-part contract headed "DC Combat Sports Commission" and "Boxers Contract Agreement". The promoter is the party of the first part and the boxer is the party of the second part. Both agree that the rules and regulations of the District of Columbia Combat Sports Commission are part of the contract.
It covers the match location and date, the number of rounds, the opponent and the weight limit, and the time of the contest. It also covers the sum the promoter pays, stated in dollars or as a percentage of the gross receipts of the house, less Federal tax and Commission fees, and any listed expenses. The contract adds terms on the appearance forfeit, liquidated damages, the boxer's health certification, the duty to report offers of a "fake" or "sham" contest or a bribe, the time the boxer reports to the Commission, gloves of not less than six ounces, and a referee licensed and assigned by the Commission.
The form states that it has been reviewed by the Commission and meets the criteria established under DCMR 19, Section 2103. It is a contract for boxers only: a note on every page says it is not to be used for a Promoter's Boxer's expenses and not to be used by Seconds.
Who needs to file Boxer Contract Agreement – Washington, DC?
The main users are a promoter licensed to conduct boxing contests in the District of Columbia and a boxer who is a licensed contestant under the rules of the DC Combat Sports Commission. The promoter signs as the party of the first part and the boxer as the party of the second part, with the boxer's manager and a witness also listed in the signature block.
The form says that all parties to the contract hold licenses as provided by the Commission's rules, and that no one may take part in the contest in any way without a license.
Do not use this contract for a Promoter's Boxer's expenses. Seconds must not use it either. The form states both limits in a note on each page and says it is for boxers only.
The form describes no representative signing for another person. The boxer's manager has a signature line, and the form refers to a "duly authorized manager" in the liquidated-damages clause.
When to file Boxer Contract Agreement – Washington, DC
The form sets no filing deadline. It is completed for one specific contest, so the triggering event is an agreed match: the promoter and the boxer fill in the match date, place and time, then sign before that contest takes place.
The contract fixes the boxer's reporting time. The boxer reports personally for weighing and medical examination at the time entered on the form, on the date set for the contest, and a default is a breach of the contract. It also says no other agreement on weights or weigh-in times may cover the contest unless the Commission authorizes it in writing.
If the contest is postponed for any cause, the new place and date are whatever the parties mutually agree. If they cannot agree, the Commission directs them.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Using this contract for a Promoter's Boxer's expenses or having Seconds use it; the note on each page says it is for boxers only.
- Entering a percentage of the gross receipts without remembering that the form figures it less Federal tax and Commission fees.
- Agreeing separate weights or weigh-in times outside the contract without the Commission's written authorization, which the form says is required.
- Naming a boxer, promoter or other participant who is not licensed under the Commission's rules; the form says no unlicensed person may take part.
- Writing the match year after the printed "200" on the contest-date line without checking it; the agreement date line prints "20".
- Completing the Chairman's review block; it is for the Chairman of the Combat Sports Commission and a date.
- Leaving out the reporting time (a.m./p.m.) for the boxer, whose failure to report on the contest date is a breach of the contract.
- Signing without the witness, the promoter and the boxer addresses that the signature block asks for.
