Boxing is a two-person sport with head-to-head fighting. Boxers compete in a 6x6m ring. Boxers wear gloves, and the permitted area of impact is from the waist to the front of the face. The aim of the discipline is to hit the opponent without being hit.
The FF Boxe has 59,874 members, of which 17,436 are women.
It has 917 affiliated federations and structures, including 810 clubs and 99 boxing schools throughout the country. Throughout its history, French boxing has won 25 Olympic medals, including six gold, nine silver and 10 bronze.
The Olympic Torch Relay marks the start of the global event that is the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Bringing the Flame to France and the Paris region will be an important step in a process that began eight years ago. The FF Boxe is delighted to be able to contribute to the journey of the Flame and to involve the main players of the Federation.
FFBoxe PresidentHosting the Olympic Games in Paris is an exceptional event. France will be hosting the world and organising the biggest event in the world, for which we have been waiting for over a century.

Team Relay in Saint-Quentin, July 17.
The Saint Quentin Boxing Club is an institution in the Picardy region. The real stars of the club are the members of the Thomas/Fresnois family, a family of four brothers who have been members of the French teams for several generations. The most famous of the brothers is none other than Jérôme Thomas, (bronze in Sydney, silver in Athens and world champion) who took part in three editions of the Olympic Games. His record of achievements and his history with the Olympic Games have earned him the title of captain of the St Quentin Relay.
Team Relay CaptainWhat the Flame represents for me is the fundamental symbol of the Olympic and Paralympic Movement. It is also the one thing that sets the Olympic Games apart from all other world competitions! The Olympic Flame brings together all these qualities: fairness, hard work, legality, discipline, inclusion, health, perseverance, respect and sharing. The Olympic Flame is to sport what peace is to the world.
For the first time in the history of the Games, each day of the Olympic Torch Relay and Paralympic Torch Relay, relay teams of 24 people, made up of champions, everyday athletes, volunteers, referees, coaches, etc. will be organized to spread the energy of sport and teamwork throughout the country.
