Boxing Association of Sri Lanka
Overview
Boxing gained popularity in Ceylon during the British colonial era, drawing large crowds and attracting competitors, particularly from the armed forces. This led to the formation of the United Services Boxing Association of Ceylon (USBAC). As the sport expanded to the Police and Colleges, USBAC was replaced in 1926 by the Amateur Boxing Association (ABA) of Ceylon.
In 2013, Sri Lanka established the Boxing Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) under the auspices of the National Olympic Committee, the International Boxing Association, and the Ministry of Sports. Governed by an Executive Committee, BASL oversees various commissions and boxing clubs islandwide, with strong support from the government and corporate sponsors to promote Sri Lanka as a leading boxing nation.
