(FEB 12) AIBA President Mr.
Umar Kremlev met with the President of the Hungarian Olympic
Committee, a two-time Olympic silver medalist in fencing, Mr.
Krisztián Kulcsár.
Mr. Kremlev expressed gratitude
to Mr. Kulcsár for the organization of good training conditions
for athletes and holding the international tournaments at the
highest level in the country, as well as attention to boxing.
‘It is AIBA boxers who should decide the faith of the
association. My task is to show deeds not words. There were no
such reforms, as we did last two months, during many years,’
AIBA President said.
‘I will not listen to negative or wait for help. I will work
hard and prove my love of boxing with actions. AIBA is an
independent organization defending the interests of athletes and
the National Federations, which develop boxing. I meet with
National Federations in the whole world, listen to their issues,
and looking for appropriate solutions. By the end of March, we
will have something to show and talk about. First and foremost,
we will solve the R&J issue and the debts’, he added.
Mr. Kulcsár stressed the importance of cooperation with the
international sports organizations.
‘We would like our athletes to show their best results at the
Olympics. For us, it is extremely important to have boxing in
the Olympic program. We believe in the success of your work on
AIBA reforms. It is our common interest to bring boxing back to
the Olympic family,’ stated Mr. Kulcsár.
