Police had told her that there were \u201csome concerns\u201d with a few people on the fight card.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they remained on our event then the event possibly wouldn\u2019t go through. So I just removed them from the event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fighters understood that police had the final say over who was allowed to take part, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they [police] say that they\u2019re not to fight then I will go with whatever the police recommendation is, to make sure our event is as safe as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Communicating with police over the safety of the Fight for Life events was nothing new, and happened every year, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do feel very sad for them, because I know how important this event is for our community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want boxing to go ahead as safe as possible, and at the same time the community that comes out to watch it to be sitting in a safe environment as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police had told her that there were \u201csome concerns\u201d with a few people on the fight card. \u201cIf…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270637,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[439,112699,37768,2560,193,112701,14008,13676,79703,40101,37409,112700,64057,112698,13772,53543,101,1850,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-274837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-after","tag-agree","tag-ahead","tag-boxing","tag-charity","tag-crimp","tag-drop","tag-event","tag-fighters","tag-gisborne","tag-go","tag-ibell","tag-lauren","tag-organisers","tag-paris","tag-some","tag-sports","tag-to","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
