Date of decision:
Dispute type:
Selection and eligibility dispute
Dispute resolution method:
Arbitration
Description:

Pursuant to the Boxing Australia Selection Appeals Policy (Policy), the Athlete disputed their non-selection to the Australian 2025 World Boxing Championships team. On 22 July 2025, the matter was validated, and determined by the NST Member on 29 July 2025.

The NST Member considered submissions and evidence from the Parties, together with relevant Boxing Australia policies and its Selection Committee meeting minutes.

The Athlete sought for the NST Member to uphold at least one of ten grounds of appeal, six of which were not listed as grounds of appeal under the Policy. The non-listed grounds of appeal in the Policy were considered by the NST Member, as Boxing Australia provided no objections to such consideration occurring.

The Athlete failed to make out any ground of appeal. Thus, the appeal was dismissed.
