The annual Varsity Match against Oxford is the longest-running inter-club amateur boxing fixture in the world.
[5] In recent years, two more Extraordinary Full Blues have been awarded to Sarah Burden and Heley Matthews.
Chris Webb remains the only boxer in history to have represented Cambridge in the Varsity match 4 times, and won all 4 bouts.
Cambridge University Amateur Boxing Club (CUABC) remains the only side to have achieved this feat since the number of bouts was increased to 9 in the 1950s.
It is considered to be a good opportunity for the University boxers to rough themselves up ahead of their Varsity Match preparations later on in Lent term, by offering a great opportunity to many novice boxers to experience their first bout in front of a fantastic crowd and familiar setting, all in preparation for the upcoming Varsity clashes.
