Jill Diamond inducted into the British Boxing Hall of Fame

Jill Diamond—the American leader of WBC Cares and a dedicated philanthropist—has been inducted into the British Boxing Hall of Fame, becoming the first non-British individual to receive this international honor.

A passionate New Yorker who launched WBC Cares in 2005, Diamond possesses a vision and generosity that have inspired lives across the globe, embodying the true meaning of compassion, empathy, and humanity.

As the WBC International Secretary and Global President of WBC Cares, Jill Diamond is the driving force and the very soul of the kindness and solidarity that reach every corner of the world, helping underprivileged children in 170 countries.

Dear Jill, this special induction into the Boxing Hall of Fame is but a small token of gratitude for the countless moments you have shared over the past twenty years with children and adults in settings ranging from pediatric hospitals and schools to universities, orphanages, and senior care facilities—as well as for your tireless work in cancer support, mental health advocacy, and assistance to boxers.
