The American Boxing Confederation (AMBC) will host its elite continental Championships in Guayaquil, Ecuador from March 22 to April 2. The medalists in each of 13 men and 12 women weight categories are to receive prize money, $10,000 USD for the first place, $5,000 USD for the second and $2,500 USD for the third.

In late December, IBA and AMBC made a joint site visit to Guayaquil to check the work of the local organizing committee (LOC) prior to the event.

AMBC President Jose Laureano stressed that the LOC is made up of very professional people committed to the event.

‘I saw a lot of enthusiasm from all the government authorities and the LOC. Guayaquil has a great advantage for the event: hotels, hospital, competition stage and the airport are within a 7-minute radius. I am very confident that this event will be the beginning of American boxing in a big way,’ Mr. Laureano added.

IBA delegate, Sport and Development Consultant Ria Ramnarine mentioned that all efforts are made ‘to organize the AMBC Elite Continental Championships at a very high standard.’

‘The location of the competition and training venues, the hotels, hospitals and airport is ideal, and transport logistics should not be an issue. The hotels are very good, clean, have all amenities and follow the required Covid protocols. There will be two hospitals on standby, covering a wide range of services for the athletes and officials. The LOC has promised sufficient experienced volunteers as well. Just the competition venue raised some concerns as a lot of preparation work is needed, but the Venue Manager promised it will be ready,’ she explained.

Ecuadorian Boxing Federation President and IBA Board of Directors member Alex Gonzalez said: “The visit was successful as all the venues and hotels, as well as the logistics, were observed, taking a pleasant impression of the speed of the organization”. Mr. González also stated that the visit to Guayaquil of the authorities designated by IBA to carry out the inspection was very fruitful, highlighting the great importance of support from of the local authorities and thanked the President of IBA Umar Kremlev, for the support he is giving him so that the Championships reach the desired success, and that he feels that Ecuador is there to support all the activities of the AMBC.

LOC Director Cesar Polit mentioned that the officials support the 2022 AMBC American Boxing Championships.

‘During their tour, the delegation had the opportunity to meet with the Governor of Guayas, Pablo Arosemena, who is the representative of the President of the Republic in that province, whose capital is Guayaquil. It was a very warm meeting, in which the senior government official expressed his firm commitment to supporting the event and ensuring safety during its development, bearing in mind that boxing is his favorite sport. On that same day, they were received at the Guayaquil Mayor’s Office by their Sports Director, Carlos Álvarez, who gave them a warm welcome on behalf of Mayor Cynthia Viteri, given that she was out of the country. The aforementioned official reiterated his support for the organization of the event and stated that the Mayor’s favorite sport is also boxing’.

Mr. Polit added that several work meetings were held with the members of the LOC in the National Sports Federation of Ecuador and in the Guayas Sports Federation. Likewise, inspection visits were made to the selected venues, hotels and clinics. In these meetings, detailed information was received on the management of the pandemic, the high average of people vaccinated with two doses in Ecuador and the obligation of citizens to be vaccinated to access public and private areas.

‘After the visit and the satisfactory results of the visit, it can be anticipated that the progress for the organization of the event is going well, so it is desirable that the financing of the same can also be given, despite the limited time available for the realization of such an important event,’ Mr. Polit summarised.

AIBA becomes IBA as extraordinary congress embraces widespread reform

AIBA becomes IBA as extraordinary congress embraces widespread reform | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

The International Boxing Association Extraordinary Congress today ushered in a new era for the sport as the federation changed its acronym from AIBA to IBA while adopting a comprehensive set of governance reforms developed by independent experts. A total of 107 of IBA’s national federations were in attendance to approve these wide-spread changes.

“As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, I am very proud of the way IBA is quickly and comprehensively becoming fit for the future. Only a year has passed since I had the privilege of becoming President of IBA. Working together, we have already completed reforms that would not have been thought possible before,” said President Umar Kremlev. “We could not have achieved this alone. In preparing the measures approved by the members of IBA today, we have had the support of leading independent experts in sports integrity and in governance. And all of this has been made possible only with the help of resources provided by our General Partner, Gazprom.”

An update was given to the Congress on parts one and three of the investigation carried out by Professor Richard McLaren and his team into boxing. Professor Ulrich Haas then presented the report of the Governance Reform Group, previously approved by IBA’s Board of Directors. The report was approved by IBA’s National Federations, which also unanimously approved a series of constitutional amendments.

Included among the amendments were the creation of a new Boxing Independent Integrity Unit, which is expected to become operational in the course of 2022. The Board of Directors will be reduced from 28 members to 18, following elections which will be held by June 30. Candidates for election will be subject to extensive eligibility checks which will be conducted independently. Very extensive changes to the Board’s composition are expected, based on the imposition of term limits and enhanced eligibility criteria.

In order to enhance IBA’s commercial viability a new visual identity was revealed, with the new acronym at its heart and a new logo has been unveiled. IBA changed its full name to “International Boxing Association” in 2007, but had maintained its previous acronym of AIBA, which referred to the Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur. The new acronym marks a new chapter in the sport’s history focused on upholding the highest standards of integrity and ensuring every boxer has the chance for a fair fight.

“Just three days ago, the IOC gave its most recent advice to IBA, which included the adoption of governance reforms and diversifying our sources of revenue. It is a sign of how far IBA has come that we were already prepared to deliver convincing progress towards this at full speed,” continued President Kremlev. “We are doing much more than making very big improvements in individual parts of IBA. We are changing our whole culture in a lasting way. The new IBA is ready to serve the boxers of today and tomorrow, together with all those who support them.”

The IBA has also begun work towards defining weight categories and developing an Olympic Qualification System, subject to IOC approval, for Paris 2024.

AIBA approves comprehensive governance reforms ahead of congress

AIBA approves comprehensive governance reforms ahead of congress | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

Ahead of the AIBA Extraordinary Congress on 12 December 2021, the Board of Directors met and unanimously approved Recommendations and Constitutional amendments established in a report of an independent Governance Reform Group (GRG), led by Professor Ulrich Haas. As AIBA delivers continued reforms in all areas, the independent GRG was appointed to review AIBA’s current governance structures, assess these structures against international best practice and issue concrete recommendations for further improvement.

AIBA President Umar Kremlev said, “Throughout the last year, AIBA has made continued progress in terms of sporting and financial integrity as well as good governance. Professor Haas and his team of independent legal experts have pointed us in the right direction, so that we can achieve a level of governance that is best practice for international federations. I congratulate my colleagues on the Board of Directors on the unanimous bold statement they have made today. I also urge all AIBA Member Federations to study the recommended changes and make a decision with the best interests of the future for our sport and our athletes in mind. Boxing should always come first.”

Amongst the proposed reforms, the independent GRG has recommended reducing the number of AIBA Board of Directors members, and today it has been agreed to limit the size of the Board to 18 members, including the introduction of 10 Special Members. Comprehensive eligibility checks will build on those introduced for the 2022 AIBA elections. They will be joined by skills assessments to ensure the best possible leadership team. The developments are in addition to the establishment of an independent Boxing Integrity Unit which will be empowered to address competition manipulation, abuse, harassment, eligibility checks of election candidates and other issues.

Changes to the functioning of the Audit Committee and Finance Committee will allow for better financial controls. A clearer differentiation of roles between advice in finance and audit has been proposed. The GRG also proposed establishing a new interdisciplinary Strategy Committee to review AIBA’s long-term strategy, develop mid-term and short-term goals.

“The proposed Constitutional amendments aim to significantly improve AIBA’s governance with focus on integrity, democracy, checks and balances. The list of top priorities and the final report are based on widely-accepted benchmarks for the highest levels of integrity and good governance, including those of ASOIF and IPACS. While they are yet to be approved by the Congress, this decision by the AIBA Board of Directors to adopt the measures proposed by our group can certainly serve as a basis for real and positive change,” – said Professor Haas.

Finally, the Board of Directors is recommending to the Congress that elections shall be conducted no later than 30 June 2022. As an option, these elections may take place during the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul, that were rescheduled to May 2022, however, the exact date to be determined by the Board on 31 December 2021 at the latest. Considerable changes are expected, including a provision selecting candidates to the governing bodies and the committees based on new eligibility criteria.

The full Governance report can be reviewed here.

AIBA сelebrates the opening of the Men’s World Boxing Championships | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

The AIBA Men’s World Boxing Championships marked its return to Belgrade for the first time since 1978 in style, with an Opening Ceremony that showcased the convergence of boxing’s rich history with the modernisation of the sport under its new leadership.

From 24 October to 6 November, more than 500 athletes from over 88 countries will compete in 13 weight categories – the most in the event’s history. The Opening Ceremony set the stage for a memorable two weeks of action, which will feature some athletes as part of a Fair Chance Team. It has been created for athletes who have felt forced to leave their countries, often because of conflict. For the first time in an AIBA competition, the team walked alongside the competing countries as part of the athletes’ parade.

During the ceremony the audience were taken through a captivating journey of boxing’s history, explaining how its early developments laid the foundations for the sport in its modern form. It also documented the inauguration of the Val Barker Trophy, which was introduced to honour the 19^th century heavyweight champion who later became a key figure in the global growth of boxing. While AIBA is seeking to reform the sport and ensure AIBA is an open, fair and transparent organisation that serves as a welcoming home for all boxers, it has been made clear that the modernisation process will encompass the valued traditional aspects of boxing, which made it a unifying force around the world.

Speaking at the Opening Ceremony, AIBA President Umar Kremlev said: “These Championships are special in so many ways. Despite everything we have been through individually and collectively, we are stronger than ever. We can see this strength in the prize money and the medals that await the best among you. We can see this strength in the improvements we have made to AIBA.”

“As well as being stronger, our community is now also fairer because of the huge efforts we have made to ensure you can all be certain of fair fights. AIBA appreciates all the hard work that has gone into making this moment happen.”

There were also speeches from the President of Serbian Boxing Federation Nenad Borovčanin, Minister of Youth and Sports of Serbia Vanja Udovičić, AIBA Ambassador and boxing legend Roy Jones Jr, as well as several other AIBA Ambassadors. Throughout the night a series of artistic performances lit up the Štark Arena, which is now poised to hear the opening bell tomorrow.

AIBA will award the winners of the Men’s World Boxing Championships with beautifully designed medals and belts to commemorate their accomplishments. Medals will be made of solid gold and silver respectively.

‘We hope to give our athletes more reasons to push themselves and achieve greatness,’ said President Umar Kremlev. ‘With this prestigious title, not only will the champions receive medals and belts to keep and wear with pride, but also significant prize money. I am confident that this will motivate the younger generation to go into boxing gyms, train hard and reach new heights.’

The official gloves of the championships will change color – white with colored AIBA logos will replace red and blue. The difference between corners will remain in the colors of the uniform, however, rules allow participants to display national colors on their kits as well.

‘White gloves will symbolise the fresh start, fairness and transparency of our major events. We will do our utmost to ensure a fair chance for everyone,’ the President added.

AIBA is fully committed to gender equality and treats all boxers fairly. At the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul, the boxers will be awarded equal prize money in each weight category.

The EUBC Youth European Boxing Championships start in Budva | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

Europe’s fourth continental event of the year, the EUBC Youth European Boxing Championships started in Budva, Montenegro.

The first competition day of the competition had 21 preliminary contests. The finals are scheduled to be held on October 23. Young talents who were born in 2003-2004 are eligible to attend the championships in Budva.

The event introduced the new weight categories. Women are competing in 12 weight classes: 48kg, 50kg, 52kg, 54kg, 57kg, 60kg, 63kg, 66kg, 70kg, 75kg, 81kg and +81kg, while men are fighting in 48kg, 51kg, 54kg, 57kg, 60kg, 63.5kg, 67kg, 71kg, 75kg, 80kg, 86kg, 92kg and +92kg.

Montenegro has never hosted any continental event until 2020 when the EUBC Youth European Boxing Championships became a new milestone in the country’s progressing boxing life. The President of the Boxing Association of Montenegro Mr. Aleksandr Klemenko worked hard with his team to arrange another EUBC Championships in the port of Budva.

During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, in total 62 women and 113 men boxers from 22 countries participated in the last edition of the EUBC Youth European Boxing Championships. This year, life in the European continent turned near to normal and the interest to attend the new edition of the EUBC Youth European Boxing Championships grew. Altogether 123 youth women and 244 youth men boxers registered to attend the 2021 edition.

Polish, Russian and Italian success in men’s 57 kg

The preliminary contests in the featherweight (57kg) delivered impressive bouts between experienced boxers. Poland’s Marcel Materla won a high number of international junior and youth tournaments and his efforts paid off in Budva where he eliminated Serbia’s Darko Djukanovic. Russia’s new national team member Garoglan Khandzhanov was hungry for success in his debut and controlled his bout against Azerbaijan’s Taji Taghizada. Italy’s Christian Chessa also proved his talent on the opening day when he eliminated an experienced Hungarian, Mark Rozsavolgyi.

Fantastic contests in the lightweight (60 kg)

Ukraine’s Danylo Dryzhak claimed the gold medal at the pinweight (46kg) at the 2019 EUBC Junior European Boxing Championships and moved up to the lightweight (60kg) following his intense development in strength. The 18-year-old Ukrainian dictated the tempo against Moldova’s Daniil Golodenko and advanced to the last 16 in Budva. Denmark’s Elias Idrissi is the best youth boxer in the national team who had enough experience to beat Greece’s Dimitrios Nikolaou by a large margin. Spain’s Salvador Flores Luque, Georgia’s Saba Tkebuchava and Poland’s Pawel Sulecki were also among the winners of this weight class on Day 1.

38 nations are attending the event in Budva

The registered 38 nations are the following: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine.

Richard McLaren findings on Rio 2016 tournament integrity reforms | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

Following the publication of the report for the first phase of Professor Richard McLaren’s independent investigation into boxing, AIBA noted the findings regarding the Rio 2016 boxing tournament with concern and confirmed that extensive reforms have been implemented to ensure sporting integrity at current AIBA competitions. Prof. McLaren was appointed by AIBA as part of the recognition by the current AIBA leadership that governance, sporting integrity and financial integrity were not previously satisfactory and that there was a need for reform. Prof. McLaren will investigate not only the Rio 2016 boxing tournament but also all key events till now to reach full transparency.

“Professor McLaren and his team have identified a system for manipulating the results of bouts at the Rio 2016 boxing tournament. I am determined to ensure that boxers receive a fair fight. This determination is demonstrated by AIBA’s clear commitment to uncovering the truth and acting on it,” said AIBA President Umar Kremlev. ”We must now carefully examine the report and see what steps are needed to ensure justice. What is important is that we make sure the mechanisms are in place to show that results are above suspicion.”

President Kremlev became involved in amateur boxing as Secretary General of the Russian Boxing Federation in 2017, before joining the AIBA board in 2018 and becoming President in 2020.

McLaren Global Sport Solutions (MGSS) will continue its work, investigating more recent boxing tournaments and also the activity of individuals previously involved in the management and administration of AIBA. The current AIBA administration is fully committed to taking appropriate action in the areas of sporting integrity, as well as any others where Prof McLaren’s teams make significant findings.

“AIBA hired Professor McLaren because we have nothing to hide,” continued President Kremlev. “We will work to incorporate any helpful recommendations that are made. We will also take legal advice with regard to what action is possible against those found to have participated in any manipulation. There should be no place in the AIBA family for anyone who has fixed a fight.”

Referees, judges and technical officials being appointed to the upcoming AIBA Men’s World Boxing Championships in Belgrade, Serbia now face tough selection criteria, including background and other checks conducted by MGSS. A random selection element has been introduced during the competition and further training will be carried out onsite, including but not limited to, a module on enhanced ethics and behavioural provisions. Comprehensive mechanisms are in place to evaluate scoring, and scoring is now displayed live during bouts.

AIBA agrees board of directors election timeline & other key decisions | Boxen247.com (Kristian von Sponneck)

Meeting online, the AIBA Board of Directors agreed the outline timeline for elections, made steps towards the election of athlete representatives and approved further measures aimed at delivering AIBA’s reforms in good governance, financial and sporting integrity. On 12 December, AIBA will host a Congress as the first step in holding elections for the Board of Directors. Based on advice from the team of independent governance experts led by Professor Dr Ulrich Haas, AIBA aims to adopt enhanced eligibility criteria and verification mechanisms in December, prior to elections that would then take place in 2022.

“Boxers and those who support them deserve to be absolutely sure that their leadership is the right leadership and to exercise their democratic rights effectively,” said AIBA President Umar Kremlev. “The adoption of even stricter regulations will ensure these elections are carried out to a level of good governance that I believe will serve as an example for others.”

Based on decisions made on Tuesday, AIBA athlete representative elections will be held firstly at the forthcoming AIBA Men’s World Boxing Championships in Belgrade. Further elections will be held at the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships, with a date and host expected to be confirmed soon. It was confirmed, meanwhile, that AIBA’s commitment to gender equality will be extended to include equal prize money for men and women at the World Championship level.

Financial integrity was also on the agenda, with the engagement of an auditor for the financial year 2020-21. The Board of Directors also considered current protocols to the refereeing and judging selection process for the forthcoming World Championships, including the principles used by the IOC’s Boxing Task Force such as background checks and detailed selection criteria.

“Providing a fair chance and a fair fight for boxers is at the very heart of AIBA and I am very proud of the changes we are making to deliver those vital promises,” continued President Kremlev. “We look forward to welcoming the best boxers in the world to Belgrade in just a few weeks’ time. And we’re confident it will prove to be an opportunity for both the athletes and for AIBA to show how well they can perform.”

As a signatory of the Code, AIBA is bound to comply with the CAS Award and to ensure its implementation within the sport of boxing.
