Why consider specialist boxing insurance?
The physical nature of boxing means you could be at risk of injuring yourself or another person. With specialist boxing insurance through Insure4Sport, you can get cover for amateur boxers and coaches alike, as even the most experienced practitioners can sustain a serious injury, no matter how many precautions are taken.
For example, boxing insurance through Insure4Sport can help cover some or all of the costs if you were to injure a third party or suffer a serious injury yourself and become unable to work. With boxing coach insurance, you can also get additional cover for if a student or employee decides to make a claim against you for an accident or injury.
Do I need insurance to run a boxing event?
Although having boxing insurance in place is not a legal requirement, some venues may need you to have public liability insurance as a minimum if you’re hosting an amateur boxing event.
