Australia
Jumps On Board...
Since we launched the IAB has been growing tremendously... Exceeding any and all expectations. Not only have we been busy here in North America, but with events throughout the United Kingdom the IAB has become global in a flash. This coming March, Australia will host their first IAB National title. the opponents are yet to be confirmed but we will announce them here soon.
ON THE AMATEUR FRONT...
The IAB is currently finalizing their rules and
regulation books to be sent to various USA State and Tribal Athletic and Boxing
Commissions who have been more than eager to accept the IAB as an approved amateur boxing sanctioning body.
Seems at last years Association of Boxing Conference in Washington DC, "MANY"
spoke up about their displeasure of how USA Boxing has been operating.
Commissions spent quite a bit of time expressing a laundry list of the many bad
issues they were dealing with in their states. So much that many were also
urging the IAB to challenge the acceptance
of USA Boxing on the Olympic level. This was due to so many expressing
their dislike of USA Boxing due to favoritism, matchmaking, regional
tournament positions and many other things. According to most Commissions, USA
Boxing is no longer a respected organization within the USA Boxing
community. Members expressed that USA Boxing's actions bring big
questions to their true fair ability to regulate Amateur Boxing in the USA. The
biggest comments made was when several asked IAB
associates at the meeting, "What would it take for the IAB Amateur division to get serious about taking
over the leadership of Amateur Boxing in the USA?" The IAB's reply was the same as it has always been... "We
have no goal of seeking such a position, but it's become a question we are asked
several times a week now." The common reply has been, "Well,
maybe it's time the USOC seek out another legitimate organization with some
integrity... and you better be ready when we recommend the IAB!"
More on this as we move forward...
