What's Being Discussed

The Hawaii State Boxing Commission is holding its board meeting on October 14, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. The meeting can be attended in person in Honolulu or virtually via Zoom. Key topics include:

• Confirming that a quorum is present and that proper public notice was given
• Reviewing and approving the minutes from the November 26, 2025 Commission meeting
• Reviewing licensing applications from individuals seeking to work in professional boxing

Decisions Expected

The Commission is expected to vote on the following license applications:

• Boxer: Colton Lowry
• Seconds (corner assistants who support fighters during a bout): Ian Mateo and David Liu
• Matchmaker (a person who arranges bouts between fighters): Mario Pokowietz

The board may also move into a closed executive session to privately discuss personal information related to license applicants, or to consult with the Commission's attorney on legal matters. Any formal votes will still take place in the open public meeting.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Individuals applying for boxing licenses in Hawaii, including the applicants named above
• Professional boxing promoters, trainers, and others in Hawaii's combat sports industry
• Members of the public interested in how the state regulates professional boxing

Anyone wishing to submit written testimony should email boxing@dcca.hawaii.gov at least 72 hours before the meeting. Live oral testimony is also accepted via Zoom, with each speaker limited to five minutes per agenda item.
