In combat sports, things move fast.
New promotions launch, rules get tweaked, athletes change disciplines, and suddenly there’s a brand-new “style” of fighting that didn’t even exist when you first took out your insurance.
That’s exactly why we offer FREE reviews of your current combat sports insurance policy – to make sure what you think you’re covered for is actually what’s written in black and white.
And right now, there’s a perfect example of why that matters: a new event called the International Brawling Championship.
A New Sport on the Scene: International Brawling Championship
Combat sports never sit still. Just when you think you’ve seen everything, along comes something like the International Brawling Championship – essentially boxing in a cage, with small gloves.
One of the stars of this new format is the rising Issac Hardman:
- A high-level boxer
- Has shared the ring with Michael Zerafa
- A 9–0 professional MMA fighter
- Multiple-time Australian champion
- Now sitting at 1–0 in the International Brawling Championship
He’s a perfect example of the modern combat sports athlete – crossing codes, changing rule sets and competing under different promotions, often all in the same year.
From an insurance point of view, that’s where things can quietly get messy.
Here’s the Problem: Policies Don’t Always Keep Up
Most people get their policy, pay their premiums, and assume they’re sweet.
But in combat sports, the reality is:
- New promotions launch (like International Brawling Championship)
- New rule sets appear (boxing in a cage with small gloves isn’t your traditional boxing or MMA)
- Fighters, gyms and promoters take on new risks they might not have considered when they first set up their cover
If your policy was arranged when you were just doing “standard” boxing or MMA, and now you’re involved with something like a hybrid brawling championship… there’s a real chance your insurance hasn’t been updated to reflect that.
And insurers are very good at pointing to fine print when it’s time to make a claim.
This Is Where We Come In
We specialise in combat sports insurance. That means:
- We understand the difference between a boxing show, an MMA promotion, a grappling comp and a new hybrid brawling-style event.
- We know how underwriters look at risk when you move from ring to cage, from big gloves to small gloves, or from amateur to pro.
- We speak your language – matchups, weight cuts, pull-outs, last-minute venue changes – and translate it into the language insurers understand.
So when a new sport or event pops up – like the International Brawling Championship – we aren’t scratching our heads. We’re asking:
“How do we make sure your policy keeps up with this, so if something goes wrong, you’re properly covered?”
What Our FREE Policy Review Actually Does
Our free policy review is exactly that – free. No obligation. No sneaky fees. No pressure.
Here’s what we do:
- Look at your current policy
We go through your existing documents: policy wording, schedule, limits, exclusions and conditions. - Match it against what you’re actually doing now
- Are you involved with new promotions (like International Brawling Championship)?
- Have you switched from ring to cage, or started using different glove sizes?
- Are you hosting, coaching, managing, promoting or competing in a new format?
- Check for gaps and outdated assumptions
We identify things like:- Activities you’re doing that may not be clearly covered
- Outdated definitions (e.g. only “boxing” when you’re now doing multiple disciplines)
- Limits that might be too low for what you’re putting on the line
- Explain everything in plain language
No jargon, no “legalese”. We’ll tell you straight:- “You’re in good shape,” or
- “Here’s where your current policy might not respond if there’s a claim.”
- Suggest the best way forward
If you’re covered properly, we’ll tell you.
If not, we’ll explain options to tighten things up – whether that’s with your current insurer or by moving to a policy that actually fits what you do.
Why This Matters More as the Sport Evolves
Events like the International Brawling Championship highlight how quickly combat sports are evolving.
Today it’s boxing in a cage with small gloves. Tomorrow it might be a new ruleset, new sanctioning body, or new style altogether.
From our perspective, that’s not a problem – it’s our job.
We’re here to make sure that:
- If you’re competing in something new, you’re not accidentally stepping outside your cover.
- If you’re a promoter or gym owner, your public liability and event cover matches the actual risks of your show – not just what was common five years ago.
- If you’re a coach or manager, your professional liability and associated risks are properly recognised.
In short: if it’s part of the combat sports world, we want to make sure it can be covered properly – including new formats like the International Brawling Championship.
