During the first year of DORA's responsibility for the regulation of boxing and kickboxing in Colorado, there has been increasing interest in the sports as evidenced by the number of events, number of licenses and growth in attendance at the events. Interest is also evidenced by events occurring in communities that have not held such events in many years.
