Lausanne: Furious with the current logjam in the suspended Indian Boxing Federation (IBF), the International Boxing Association (AIBA) has terminated the IBF from its fold, stating that the current set of office-bearers are “damaging the image, reputation and interest” of the sport. In a tersely-worded statement, the AIBA said it is not in a position to make a “proper” judgment on how to handle India’s case after receiving conflicting communications from various stakeholders.
The boxers and coaches will, however, continue to remain unaffected by the development and can participate in international events under the AIBA flag till the time the crisis is sorted out. “It is with much regret that the International Boxing Association (AIBA) Executive Committee (EC) has decided to end any official relationship with its current suspended member, the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation after an extensive evaluation and assessment of all issues surrounding the sport of boxing in India,” the world body said in its latest missive.
AIBA President Ching Kuo Wu said the IBF is unlikely to be re-recognised till the time a new set of officials take charge after fresh elections, the screening of candidates for which would be done by the world body. “As AIBA President and on behalf of the entire boxing family, I am expressing my deepest regret and sadness that we had to make this decision,” stated Dr Wu.
