As I said to one recent interview with MD the president of the Royal Spanish Boxing Federation, Felipe MartínezSpanish amateur boxing is in fashion and it is not a passing fad, it is here to stay.
The numbers support the words of the head of Olympic boxing in Spain In fact, you only have to look at the evolution of licenses in recent years, with constant growth worldwide and a clear increase of licenses about women’s boxing
So, it is enough to recall that in 2017 there were a total of 10,018 licenses to athletes, coaches and other members involved, a figure that retreated during the pandemic, but suffered a significant growth in 2022 with 14,957 to 14,957. 21,812 from last year.
Regarding the total number of licenses for boxers only, both women and men, last year was 19,649, where in 2022 it will be 13,223.
And, in a feminine key and Autonomous Communities, Madrid and Galicia lead the ranking, with 1,960 and 1,648, respectively, followed by Canary Islands there are 313.
The numbers that will surely increase this year thanks to the grassroots and training of the federation itself and the achievements of the most famous athletes, such as Laura Fuertes being the first Spanish woman who managed to be in the wilderness Olympic Games last summer or the silver medals of Ayoub Ghadfa or the brass of Enmanuel Reyes Pla in Paris.
