NASSAU, Bahamas -- The Bahamas Boxing Commission met on Tuesday night and determined to release a press statement to inform the general public of its position regarding the former Commonwealth Boxing Council Super Middleweight Champion Jermain Mackey.


At the meeting on Tuesday, the commissioners decided unanimously to act on the recommendation of the Medical Committee, chaired by Dr. Munir Rashad, as to when Mackey should be sanctioned to fight again.


A medical team will meet with the boxer on Thursday, October 1, 2009 for the purpose of an examination.


The Medical Committee Chairman will then report the findings to The Commission and a decision will be made as to how long Mackey will be mandated to refrain from engaging in a boxing match.


It was emphasized also that while the commission?s Secretary Fred Sturrup is also President of the Commonwealth Boxing Council, the BBC has absolutely no jurisdiction over the Commonwealth title picture and acts only on matters related to the local professional boxing scene.
