The chief Commissioner of Victoria Police will be given new powers to ban people from the state's boxing and cage-fighting industries.

The State Government is working out the precise way to grant Graham Ashton the authority to determine who are deemed to be fit and proper people to work in combat sports.

Under current laws, the Professional Boxing and Combat Sports Board can ignore police warnings about those with criminal links.

Victoria Police tried to ban gangland figure and industrial mediator Mick Gatto from the boxing industry last year after introducing a "fit and proper person" test for boxing promoters.

Acting Sports Minister Jenny Mikakos conceded there were concerns about some people in the industry.

"We take the view that boxing and combat sports must be governed to the highest standards," she said.

"We are closely considering ways to ensure the governance and integrity of boxing and combat sports are in line with community expectations.

"So we are looking at tightening the rules to ensure that the chief commissioner's recommendation's recommendation is implemented."

A ban on the use of the cage in mixed martial arts (MMA) was lifted in March and a major tournament will be staged in Melbourne in November.
