Mike Callan, the head of the group who is urging the BJA to provide answers to a series of questions after the event was stripped from the Scottish city because of a sponsorship row, is also expected to meet with senior BJA officials in the coming days.

“I have today emailed the BJA Board of Directors a formal request to convene a meeting to address the questions raised by the Shōjiki Kyōkai [Honesty Society],” Callan wrote on Facebook.

“I have allowed a reasonable time to respond, and explained that should the request not be granted, that I will submit a formal request for an EGM.

“I have spoken to the BJA chair, CEO, and a vice-president, and I’m due to meet the chair and CEO in the coming days.

“I’m hopeful that the member clubs will soon receive some answers around this unfortunate episode.”

Callan hopes his call will not go unanswered as he and other parts of the BJA membership continue to push for the governing body to divulge how the ongoing debacle was allowed to happen.

They believe a meeting of the BJA’s member clubs should be held to discuss the saga after a controversial agreement with a mixed martial arts firm led to Glasgow being axed due to a conflict of interest.

Earlier this month, they posted a list of 25 questions they would like to ask the BJA.

This includes whether they feel then chairman Kerrith Brown and chief executive Andrew Scoular misled the Board, while other questions centre on if any of the members physically saw the contracts which had been signed and if they took advice on the clear conflict of interest, found to be at the heart of the issue.

Callan has already spoken with BJA chairman Ronnie Saez and Scoular, who was allowed to keep his position despite being found to have breached his contractual obligations during the process which led to the event being taken away from the Scottish city.

Disciplinary proceedings were brought against Scoular but he was “found to be responsible in respect of a few of the more minor allegations and consequently appropriate disciplinary action was taken”, according to the BJA.

A report from law firm Hamlin into the furore surrounding the withdrawal of the event from Glasgow, which was switched to Baku and held as part of the 2015 European Games, uncovered that Scoular assisted Brown, who was found to be “almost entirely” responsible for the organisation losing the event, in his actions.

It also claimed he knew what Brown, who chose to mislead the BJA Board over a controversial sponsorship agreement between the governing body and the Combat Sports Federation (CSF), which was brokering a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), of which he was a director.

The 53-year-old, who stood down from his role as BJA chairman in June 2015 and is now the President of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation, “stood financially to benefit” from the deal with the CSF, it was alleged.

In a progress update, published last month, the BJA announced it would pursue the possibility of retrieving money from Brown.

It also granted the BJA Board a “more prominent role” in the scrutiny of potential sponsorship deals.
