Joint Association of Boxers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Joint Association of Boxers was founded as a union in May 2003 in order to obtain collective bargaining rights for boxers.[1] Founded by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, the JAB was affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.[2] In April 2004, the first fight organized by the JAB under a collective agreement was conducted between Jeremy Williams and Attila Levin.[3]
