Fighter terms

These terms apply when you register for a White Collar Fight Club Fight Camp and Fight Night. Please read them before you pay your Fight Camp Deposit. By registering, you agree to them.

Who we are

The White Collar Fight Club Ltd, company number 11089282, registered office 9A Leicester Road, Blaby, Leicester LE8 4GR. Email info@thewhitecollarfightclub.co.uk or WhatsApp +44 7742 522006.

Your agreement with us is made up of these terms, our Fighter Waiver Form, the Medical Form you complete on Fight Night and, if it applies to your bout, our Weight Difference Consent Form. If anything in those forms conflicts with these terms, these terms apply.

1. Who can fight

1. You must be 18 or over by Fight Night.
2. You must complete our health questionnaire (PAR-Q) and Fighter Waiver Form yourself, honestly and in full, before camp starts. Tell us about anything relating to your physical or mental health that could affect your training or fight.
3. If anything on your health questionnaire changes, or turns out to be wrong, tell us in writing straight away.
4. If you are pregnant, or become pregnant during camp, you cannot spar or fight. Please tell us as soon as you can. You can move to a later camp or have your deposit refunded (section 2).
5. You agree to the medical checks we run, including medicals before and after your fight. If our medical team or coaches decide it is not safe for you to spar or fight, their decision is final.

2. Your £100 Fight Camp Deposit

1. You pay a Fight Camp Deposit of £100 when you register for your Fight Camp sessions. It secures your place and your commitment to the programme.
2. We refund it in full within 5 working days of Fight Night when both of these are met:
   • you take part fully in Fight Night
   • you have sold at least 15 tickets before Fight Night
3. We also refund it, or move it to a later camp if you prefer, if:
   • we cannot find you a safe match
   • you cannot fight because of injury, illness or pregnancy, and you give us valid medical evidence
   • we cancel the show, or move it to a date you cannot make (section 12)
4. You lose your deposit if:
   • you withdraw for any other reason
   • you do not sell 10 tickets by the end of week 3, or 15 in total by Fight Night, and we remove you from the card
   • you miss compulsory team sparring (section 5)
   • we remove you for your behaviour, for alcohol or drugs (section 7), or because you gave us false information about your health, weight or experience (section 9)
5. Moving to a later camp. You can ask to move your place and your deposit to a later camp. Tickets already sold for you move to the later show with you and count towards your target there.

3. Ticket sales

1. You agree to sell at least 10 tickets by the end of week 3 of camp, and another 5 before Fight Night (15 in total), using our ticket page and the marketing material we provide. Tickets you buy yourself count towards your total.
2. How tables count towards your total is set for each show and shown in your camp pack.
3. Ticket buyers choose the fighter they are supporting at checkout, which is how we count your sales.
4. If we remove you from the card for missing a ticket target, the people who bought tickets to support you are refunded under our ticket terms.
5. All ticket revenue goes towards running the Fight Camp and the show. It is not a charity donation.

4. Fundraising

1. We ask every fighter to raise at least £50 for our charity partner CALM, or for a charity that means something to you, using the fundraising platform we recommend.
2. We never collect or hold charity money. Donations go straight to the charity through your own fundraising page.

5. Training and sparring

1. Camp sessions are free. You can only use our partner gyms during our designated camp sessions, unless you already have your own membership.
2. While you train at a partner gym you must follow that gym’s own club rules. Gymbox’s rules are at gymbox.com/club-rules.
3. You must attend our team sparring sessions in weeks 5 and 6 to be considered for a fight. If you miss them, we can refuse you a place on the card.
4. If you train with your own coach instead of at camp, your coach must have their own insurance, only one outside coach can be in your corner on Fight Night, and you must attend all team sparring sessions.

6. Conduct

1. Treat coaches, staff, venue teams, other fighters and your opponent with respect, in the gym and on Fight Night.
2. Follow the instructions of the coaches, referees and medical team at all times.

7. Alcohol and drugs

1. Do not train, spar or fight under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
2. Do not drink alcohol or take recreational drugs in the 48 hours before your fight. You will be asked about this on the Medical Form.
3. Tell our medical team about any medication you take, including prescribed medication.
4. If a coach or our medical team believes you have broken this rule, they can stop you training or remove you from the card.

8. Head injuries and returning to training

We follow England Boxing’s approach to head injuries.

1. If you are knocked out, or the referee or a coach stops a bout or a sparring round because of blows to the head, you must not spar or fight for at least 30 days.
2. If it happens a second time within 90 days, the break is at least 90 days. A third time within 12 months means at least 12 months.
3. If you have any signs of concussion (headache, dizziness, confusion, sickness, blurred vision), stop training and get medical advice. Do not return to contact training until you have no symptoms and a doctor has cleared you.
4. Our medical team can set a longer break. Their decision is final.
5. These rules also apply to head injuries outside camp, for example from another sport or an accident. Tell us about them.

9. Matching, weight and your place on the card

1. Our coaches match every bout on weight and experience. You do not choose your opponent.
2. Opponents are normally within 5kg of each other at the official weigh-in. A bout with a bigger difference only goes ahead if both fighters and our coaches agree it is safe and both fighters sign our Weight Difference Consent Form. You can always say no, and saying no never costs you your deposit. Heavyweight bouts are not subject to the 5kg limit.
3. You must give us your true weight and experience, including any previous fights. If you give us false information, or your weight on Fight Night is far from what you told us, we can cancel your bout.
4. If you sell your 15 tickets and we can find you a suitable match, you are guaranteed a fight.
5. We can remove you from the card if you do not meet the ticket targets, miss compulsory sparring, behave badly, break the alcohol and drugs rule, are not medically fit, or we cannot find you a safe match.
6. From your third fight with us, you compete for a winner’s belt.

10. Kit and safety

1. You must bring your own kit: gloves and wraps (16oz, or 14oz if you are under 55kg) from week 1, plus shin guards from week 1 if you are doing Muay Thai; an open-face head guard and a properly fitted gum shield by week 3; and a groin guard by week 4.
2. Full-face head guards are not allowed on Fight Night. Cheek protectors are fine.
3. On Fight Night we check your kit. You will use your own kit if our team decides it is safe. If it is not, we provide gloves.
4. Every bout is three rounds of two minutes, with professional referees and medics ringside.

11. Photography and filming

1. Camp sessions and every Fight Night are photographed and filmed. By registering, you agree that we can use photos and footage of you to promote our camps and shows, including on our website, social media and YouTube.
2. You receive professional fight photos and footage of your bout after Fight Night.
3. If you would rather not appear in promotional material, tell us before camp starts and we will do our best to leave you out.

12. If we cancel or change the show

1. We may need to change the date, venue or start time of a show, for example if a venue becomes unavailable or for safety reasons. Your place moves to the new arrangements.
2. If you cannot make a new date, tell us within 14 days of us telling you about the change. You can move to a later camp or have your deposit refunded.
3. If we cancel a show and cannot offer a new date, we refund your deposit in full.

13. Your right to cancel

The 14-day cancellation right for online purchases does not apply to Fight Camp, because it is a leisure service on fixed dates. You can still withdraw at any time, as set out in section 2.

14. Risk, insurance and liability

1. Boxing and Muay Thai are contact sports and carry a risk of injury. We work hard to keep that risk low, but we cannot remove it.
2. Every Fight Night is covered by public liability insurance arranged for that venue and its capacity, and camp sessions are run by coaches who hold their own insurance. This pays out where someone is legally responsible for an injury or loss. It is not personal accident insurance, and it does not pay you simply because you are injured. We strongly recommend you take out your own personal accident insurance that covers combat sports.
3. We are not responsible for loss of or damage to your belongings at partner gyms or venues, unless it is caused by our negligence.
4. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.

15. General

1. We use your information as described in our privacy policy.
2. We may update these terms. The version in force when you register applies to your camp, unless a change is needed for safety or by law.
3. If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
4. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
5. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
