Commission approves June minutes and strategic plan; tables Celebrity Boxing promoter license
Summary
At its Sept. 8 meeting the California State Athletic Commission approved minutes from June 2 and the commission’s draft strategic plan and removed and tabled a promoter license item for Celebrity Boxing due to incomplete paperwork.
The California State Athletic Commission on Sept. 8 voted to approve the minutes from its June 2 meeting and to adopt a draft strategic plan; both motions carried on recorded voice votes. The commission also removed and tabled an item requesting a promoter’s license for a group identified as “Celebrity Boxing” because the promoter had not provided required paperwork.
What passed - Approval of minutes: The commission called for a motion to approve the minutes of its June 2, 2025 meeting; the motion passed. Commissioners who verbally recorded votes included Commissioner Gurell (aye), Commissioner DeMars (aye), Vice Chair Dr. John Williams (aye) and Chairman Peter Villegas (aye). A commissioner was absent from the roll call.
- Approval of draft strategic plan: The commission voted to approve the draft strategic plan by voice vote after a public-comment period on the agenda item. Commissioners who recorded “aye” on the record included Commissioner Gurell, Commissioner DeMars, Vice Chair Williams and Chairman Villegas; the motion carried.
What was tabled - Celebrity Boxing promoter license: An agenda item requesting consideration of a promoter’s license for “Celebrity Boxing” was removed from the agenda and tabled until the next meeting after staff reported the promoter had not submitted required paperwork. The chair announced the item would be “removed and tabled until next meeting.” No formal vote on the license application was taken.
No additional policy detail or conditions were attached to the approved motions at the Sept. 8 meeting, and the commission did not change licensing rules during the votes.
