‘As of on Tuesday, the Ad Hoc Committee established by the Indian Olympic Association will no longer be representing boxing in India and all boxing related matters including managing all level of competitions will be managed by Boxing India in full cooperation with AIBA,’ the world body said in a statement. ‘AIBA also wishes Boxing India applies for a membership of IOA and receive its recognition following the IOC Charter in the very near future,’ it added.
The IOA-appointed six-member ad-hoc panel had been handling some affairs of Indian boxing after the federation was terminated earlier this year. However, AIBA on Monday granted provisional recognition to Boxing India (BI) after elections to form a new federation were successfully conducted last week in the presence of two observers from the world body. AIBA president Ching-Kuo Wu (in pic) wrote to BI president Sandeep Jajodia confirming the provisional recognition, which would be permanently ratified during the AIBA Congress in November.
Wu also called on the BI to administer the sport with transparency and even invited the newly-elected team to the AIBA headquarters for a learning session. ‘I would like to emphasise the importance of managing Boxing India in the most transparent, fair, democratic manner and most importantly in the respect of all AIBA rules and regulations,’ he said.
