(NOV 8) WBAN has received an update on the ongoing saga of the
Boxers' Uniform for Women. In a recent press release, dated
November 4, 2011, the AIBA said that the
AIBA has recently noticed a strong media/press interest on the
issue of Boxers' Uniform for Women.
In this regard, AIBA would
like to clarify its current position on the matter:
- AIBA has not made any final decision on Boxers' Uniform for
Women
- AIBA plans to call a AIBA Technical and Rules Commission
meeting in January 2012 to discuss the issue and to offer
recommendations to the AIBA Executive Committee before making
its final decision.
- At this point in time, AIBA is seeking a consensus from the
worldwide Boxing Family and the wider public for reference
purposes.

Apparently the "disgust" voiced in many news articles is not
convincing enough.
