AIBA disputes BFI claims over hosting 2021 World Boxing Championships

The Hindu  

The International Boxing Association has disputed the claims of Boxing Federation of India regarding issues related to the hosting of the 2021 World boxing championships. As New Delhi did not fulfill its obligations to pay the host fee as mentioned in the host city agreement, despite numerous reminders by AIBA and after having been offered multiple options to settle their obligations, AIBA had no choice but to terminate the contract in April 2020,” said an AIBA statement. AIBA said its decision to award the host city rights to Belgrade was “also prompted by the fact that almost two-third of the host fees due by BFI for having hosted the 2018 AIBA World Women’s Boxing Championships remains outstanding to date, more than 18 months after the event. AIBA showed a lot of patience and comprehension, agreeing on numerous successive repayment plans, which were never respected by BFI.” AIBA also rejected BFI claims related to banks.
