Championships.
“It is exciting to see new members joining the Athletes’
Committee with fresh perspectives and a desire to grow boxing
globally,” said IBA President Umar Kremlev. “Athletes are at the
heart of everything we do at IBA, so it is vital that their
voices are heard and that their opinions are considered when
decisions are made. I look forward to working with all the
members and discussing how we can continue to lead the sport
into a brighter future.”
