World Boxing Backs Plan To Create A New Confederation In Asia
The development came two days after Asian Boxing Confederation (ASBC) members voted in favour of remaining part of the IBA. Out of 34 votes cast, 23 delegates opposed ASBC’s independence from IBA, 10 voted in favour, and one abstained during the Congress held in Bangkok on Saturday. The new confederation, which will be aligned with World Boxing, is being created following the decision by Pichai Chunhavajira to step down as ASBC president.
Chunhavajira, who is also president of Thailand Boxing, stepped down as ASBC chief following the voting at the IBA Congress and revealed plans to form a rival Asian boxing organisation under the umbrella of World Boxing. "This step is vital to strengthen Asia's voice, protect the rights of our athletes, and ensure a transparent, fair, and sustainable future for our sport," Chunhavajira has said.
