A REPORT on the death of a white-collar boxer should be made public to help make the activity safer, says a councillor.

The call comes after Dominic Chapman, known as Domo, died after fighting in an Ultra White Collar Boxing event at a nightclub.

Worcestershire Regulatory Services have said they will be investigating the event and what happened.

But now Cllr Richard Udall, city and county councillor for St John's, wants the findings to be openly available so that Worcester's venues and events can be checked for safety.

Councillor Udall said: "I have just written to Worcestershire Regulatory Services to ask for the report to be made public and if we can discuss at the City Council Licensing Committee how boxing can be made safer at licensed venues in Worcester.

"Licensing is about public protection, we need to make sure venues and events are safe for all involved.

"It's clearly a contact sport, with risks, we need to see how the risks can be minimised."

Worcester City Council did not confirm if the report will be released to the public, but believe the event was conducted "in line with the venue's licence."

A Worcester City Council spokesman said: “This tragic incident was reported to Worcestershire Regulatory Services and an investigation is being carried out into all aspects of the event.

"The police are also aware. We can confirm that the charity boxing event was conducted in line with the venue’s licence.”

Dominic Chapman's family declined to comment at this time.
