Three arrested on suspicion of cheating offences

27 January 2025

Three people were arrested today in relation to allegations of match fixing on a boxing fight.

A 54-year-old woman, a 33-year-old man, and a 23-year-old man were arrested in Birmingham as part of an investigation led by the Gambling Commission and supported by West Midlands Police.

The 54-year-old and the 33-year-old were arrested in Kings Norton, while the 23-year-old was arrested in Longbridge.

All three are alleged to have committed the offences under section 42 of the Gambling Act 2005 (opens in new tab).

The investigation was launched following reports of suspicious betting activity linked to a boxing match held last year.

The Commission will not be commenting further at this time.
