    Default Boxing individuals against MMA

    Hey,
    does anybody know of any boxing promoters etc in the midlands or north who are strongly against MMA? People that are possibly easily approachable?
    Thanks

    Maybe he is just writing an essay and needs two sides?

    You could try Kirklees council, they have many boxing events and banned MMA. Barry McGuigan is the head of the PBA and he is strongly against MMA for obvious reasons. Boxing promoters like Warren might be harder to get in touch with
