Lausanne, Switzerland – The International Boxing Association (IBA) is delighted to welcome the Dutch Boxing Federation as a provisional member of the organization. The permanent membership will be voted on by the delegates at the next IBA Congress.
It signals the return of Dutch boxers to IBA events, who are eligible to compete if associated with the new member in the Netherlands.
IBA Secretary General and CEO Chris Roberts OBE claimed that the newly established National Federation will be able to take part in the upcoming IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Niš, Serbia, which will take place on 8-16 March.
‘We welcome a new National Federation from the Netherlands to the IBA Family, as we are looking forward to working together in order to give a new revamp into Dutch boxing. We will assist the organization with smooth onboarding and hope to see their athletes participating in the upcoming IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships,’ Chris Roberts OBE claimed.
Dutch Boxing Federation Secretary General, Jan Deijkers, said: ‘We started to think about the new federation after the Olympic Games in Paris, basically trying to look at what's the best approach to give a good program for the top athletes. IBA is the biggest boxing international federation, but it's also the organization providing the best events.’
‘The program of the IBA is, if you look at their championships, the best option for the top boxers to basically get everything out of their careers. We want to give athletes the opportunity to switch, and since we are formally approved, we are establishing a program we can offer to athletes. Our first goal is to get top boxers in the Netherlands joining us and once we have top athletes participating in the IBA events, we can use that as our marketing,’ Deijkers concluded.
