Six more national boxing federations have joined a new organization seeking to replace the embattled International Boxing Association as the sport’s governing body at the Olympic level.
World Boxing said its 12 members have agreed to several standards of conduct, including transparent elections for their leadership, the adoption of prominent anti-doping standards and formal recognition by their own nations’ Olympic committees.
World Boxing will hold its inaugural Congress in November, said Simon Toulson, the group’s Secretary General. “Becoming a member takes time, as it is a detailed and meticulous process to ensure that a national federation is suitable for our organization,” Toulson added.
