Chairman of the Coaches Council of the Russian Boxing Federation Edouard Kravtsov admitted that the Algerian Boxing Federation could remain within the International Boxing Association (IBA), but under a different name.
Earlier, the international federation World Boxing announced that the boxing federations of Algeria and Japan had joined the organization. Currently, World Boxing has 44 national associations, seven of which became members of the federation after the Paris Olympic Games.
– Of course, the transition of the Algerian Boxing Federation was expected, because, due to her position, Iman Khelif would have been harassed by the president of the IBA and the IBA community.
Unfortunately, integration into World Boxing will still continue through one federation or another. But nevertheless, alternative federations are opening in many boxing federations. That is, one federation is represented in World Boxing, the other, as a rule, even with a stronger composition, remains in the IBA. It is possible that the Algerian Boxing Federation will remain in the IBA, but under a different name, “Kravtsov told .
The alternative organization World Boxing was founded by national federations that left the International Boxing Association (IBA). In response to statements by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regarding the possible exclusion of boxing from the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, World Boxing is attempting to gain Olympic recognition and participate in the Olympic tournament.
