USA Boxing quits IBA, moves to join rival governing body

The Hindu  

USA Boxing has terminated its 77-year membership in the International Boxing Association ahead of its move to a rival governing body that hopes to return the sport to Olympic favour. USA Boxing intends to join the World Boxing International Federation, which was established two weeks ago in an attempt to preserve the Olympic future of boxing heading into the second straight Games without IBA involvement. McAtee said USA Boxing is making the move because of the IBA’s “failure to uphold its mission and principles of its constitution, and failure to respect the Olympic charter and movement.” USA Boxing has been a member of the IBA, formerly known as AIBA, since 1946. “USA Boxing remains committed to the Olympic movement by following the principles of proper governance, promoting neutral third-party oversight of the field of play, condemning false and misleading information from IBA leadership demanding transparent financial management,” McAtee wrote in the letter. In announcing USA Boxing’s decision, McAtee cited several national governing bodies’ “growing concern that IBA leaders have failed to follow IOC’s recommendations and have failed to implement the necessary changes required.
