How we verify

Every fight on FightCircle shows how it was checked. This is the full process, the same one our team follows.

What each fight label means

Organiser-confirmedThe promotion entered or confirmed the result on FightCircle.
Evidence-checkedOur team checked independent evidence.
CheckedOur team checked it before we began showing how.
PendingSent for checking. Only the person who sent it, the fighters in it and our team can see it. It doesn't count yet.
DisputedA fighter in the bout challenged it. Shown next to the result, never hidden.

A fight we find was a mismatch or a smoker stays visible as "Not counted", outside the W-L record and rankings. Your record counts verified fights only. Nobody can mark their own fight verified, and nobody can pay for it.

What we check, every fight

  1. Your evidence is the full fight or an official result, not a clip.
  2. The event is real and findable: the promotion posted it.
  3. The date matches, and your video wasn't online before the fight.
  4. We can see it's you: face or name announcement.
  5. Your opponent is a real person with the same name elsewhere.
  6. Result, method and round match what is on screen.
  7. Pro or amateur matches the gear and rules we see.
  8. It was a sanctioned bout with a referee, not sparring.
  9. For "Evidence-checked": two sources from different people.
  10. Nothing looks edited.

Ten rules that get your fight verified faster

  1. Send everything at once: every link in one go.
  2. Same name, spelling and date of birth everywhere.
  3. Record the whole fight, from intros to hand raise.
  4. Public or unlisted video; Drive links set to "anyone with link".
  5. Give your opponent's real name and their FightCard or Instagram.
  6. Pick the right level. Not sure? Say Amateur.
  7. Date and venue exactly as on the poster.
  8. Say when the finish happens in the video, in your source note.
  9. Before the fight, ask the organiser to list the event.
  10. Within 48 hours, post your clip tagging the promotion, then add the fight.

Common reasons a fight is sent back, and the fix

Clip only, poster only, or a screenshotAdd the full video or the organiser's result post.
We can't see that it's you in the boutAdd a video where your name is announced, or the organiser's sheet.
Opponent has no footprint under that nameGet your opponent to claim a FightCard, or send the organiser's sheet.
Video online before the claimed dateCorrect the date, or add the bout the video is really from.
Marked Pro, gear says amateurChange to Amateur. No penalty.
Sparring, interclub or smokerNot a record fight. Keep it in your media.
Both sources from you or your gymAdd the organiser's post or a news report.

Our target: a first decision within 72 hours, or 24 hours if you have an accepted event in the next 21 days. We will promise these times once we have met them for a month. A fight sent back stays private. Fix it and send it again.
