DOHA: The International Boxing Association (AIBA) Executive Committee voted in favor to hold Ordinary Congress on December 12-13, 2020.
The decision was made this week by a mail vote with the majority.
Extraordinary Congress, scheduled for June 20, 2020, was canceled due to coronavirus pandemic.
The main topic to discuss of the Ordinary Congress will include such points as approval of accounts, reports by commissions, and two following additional items:
- adoption of a new AIBA Constitution;
- election of AIBA President.
“We hope that sanitary situation will allow us to hold AIBA Ordinary Congress in December,” AIBA Interim President Dr. Mohamed Moustahsane claimed.
“AIBA is actively working on reforms, not only Statutes changes but also reviewing the competition format and schedule,” he added.
Meanwhile, AIBA also disputed the reasons given by Boxing Federation of India (BFI) for not paying their dues.
Since June 2019, Serbia is no longer on the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force; BFI managed to make some payments to AIBA in the course of winter 2020.
In the current situation, AIBA cannot take the risk to suffer further losses caused by BFI’s failure to comply with its obligations.
