Commonwealth Games boxing official suspended over assault claims
Boxing Scotland has suspended official Jon-Paul Hynd from the Commonwealth Games over a complaint he struck a 15-year-old with his head in 2025. Police Scotland investigated but found no evidence of criminality, while Boxing Scotland examines separate claims involving a child aged eight or nine. Hynd, appointed to the role in February, has been ordered to stay away from the boxing club during the investigation.
