IBA Prioritizes Good Governance Amid Suspended National Federations Eindhoven Cup

The Dutch Boxing Federation has been notified by the International Boxing Association (IBA) regarding the consequences of organizing an unsanctioned international event in Eindhoven. The IBA had previously suspended seven National Federations, including the Dutch Boxing Federation, due to violations of the IBA Constitution and Regulations. As a result, these federations lost all membership benefits, including the privilege to host international competitions.

Despite the suspension, the Dutch Boxing Federation chose to disregard the regulations and officially informed the National Federations that they would proceed with the event. In response, the IBA is compelled to reaffirm its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the Boxing Family and its governing principles. Any entity that chooses to violate the rules will trigger an automatic implementation of the Constitution and Regulations.

George Yerolimpos, the Secretary-General and CEO of the IBA, emphasized the application of rules without exceptions. The organization follows the principles of good governance, where every action carries its corresponding consequences that are applied uniformly. The IBA's Constitution leaves no room for ambiguity and ensures a consistent approach.

In conclusion, the Dutch Boxing Federation has been duly informed by the IBA about the ramifications of hosting an unsanctioned international event. The IBA stands firm in protecting the integrity of the sport and asserts that all violations of the Constitution and Regulations will be met with automatic implementation of the appropriate measures. The IBA's Secretary General and CEO emphasized the importance of adhering to the rules without exceptions, highlighting the organization's commitment to transparency and good governance.
