AFBC ELITE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S EVENT IS RESCHEDULED
The African (AFBC) and Asian (ASBC) Confederation Championships have been rescheduled to 2026, allowing IBA to ensure top-tier organizational standards and optimal event delivery.
*African Prize Money Centralization*
IBA has centralized the distribution of African prize money to ensure transparency and fairness. This reform addresses previous inefficiencies and sets a new benchmark for financial governance.
*World Series of Boxing (WSB) Revival*
The much-anticipated revival of the World Series of Boxing (WSB) remains a key strategic goal. While its relaunch has been deferred to 2026 to prioritize the upcoming World Championships, IBA envisions WSB as a bridge between amateur and professional boxing—designed to invigorate competition, inclusivity, and innovation across the sport.
*World Championships and Congress Preparations – Dubai 2025*
The IBA Men’s Elite World Championships (2–13 December) in Dubai will serve as both a global sporting showcase and a celebration of IBA’s 75-year legacy. The Championships will be accompanied by the IBA Business Forum (12 December) and the IBA Congress (13 December)—gathering a large contingent of National Federations in what promises to be a landmark week for the sport.
Final negotiations on logistics, accommodation, and security are nearly complete, ensuring a world-class experience for athletes and attendees. A global marketing campaign is also underway to highlight the Championships’ cultural and sporting significance.
