Today is the final work day for outgoing Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission executive director Greg Sirb, ending the longest tenure of any state athletic commissioner in the nation.

Sirb, a native of Sharon, had held the position since January of 1990, and served under seven different governors in the Commonwealth. Sirb was responsible for overseeing over 2,000 boxing events and 1,100 MMA events over his tenure, including the “Duelo de Siglo” matches held on Pittsburgh’s Roberto Clemente bridge in 2016.

Sirb was a 2001 inductee to the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and is a member of the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. He received a bachelor’s degree in communications from Edinboro University, where he wrestled in the early 1980s and was named a two‐time all-American. He also earned a master’s degree in public administration from Penn State University.
