(DEC 18) AIBA’s former Chief Executive Ho Kim from Korea who was ‘sacked’ by the AIBA in 2015 has today sent a detailed response in which he, in turn, insists that all actions taken by him were on the instruction of AIBA President Dr Ching-Kuo Wu. The Korean not only justifies his own actions but makes further ones against the AIBA President from Chinese Taipei. 

In response, the AIBA’s Interim CEO, has penned a detailed response and threatening legal proceedings against Ho Kim. The AIBA is this week holding. 

WBAN includes here both the Ho Kim submissions and the AIBA’s response so you can judge for yourself.  Pending further actions from either party what is clear though is that these ongoing disputes will be solved in the courts, and AIBA national federations plus boxers and coaches round the world will be shocked at some of the allegations made by the parties in dispute, especially those concerning financial loans and the ‘suspension’ of Referees and Judges following alleged corruption in Rio 2016. 

This shabby squabble does nothing more than bring the AIBA into disrepute at a time when the sport is reeling from the loss of several leading ‘amateurs’ including Olympic champions (male and female) and with more ready to follow in the weeks and months ahead. 

WBAN makes it clear that it neither agrees nor disagrees with the statements in the Press Releases issued via “Around The Rings” but feel it important that readers be aware of the latest developments.
