Boxing and MMA: A New Union

Amir Khan is leading the way with the Global Fighters' Union (GFU). This is a significant step in the world of boxing and MMA, as these sports have long been without proper union representation. Khan believes that there needs to be an organization that stands above everything and can provide help in various situations.For instance, fighters often face unique vulnerabilities such as the absence of standard workplace benefits like insurance and pensions. The GFU aims to change this by securing protections and benefits for fighters. They also want to ensure fair contracts and revenue sharing.Former boxing champion Paul Smith, another co-founder of the GFU, emphasizes the importance of laying the groundwork. They have spent 2024 establishing their team, structure, and targets. Soon, they will start the process of change with a list of year-one actions.The GFU is inspired by the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), which has been a reference point. They hope to emulate the model of the PFA and use broadcaster revenue to improve the sport. This includes investing in medical evaluations, protective measures, and health and wellness programs.In conclusion, your support helps The Independent tell these important stories and make a positive impact.
