World Boxing relocates Congress 2025 to Rome

PhilBoxing.com


World Boxing’s forthcoming Congress has been relocated to Rome in Italy.

It follows discussions between World Boxing and the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) who reached a mutual decision to relocate the Congress, which will now be held in Rome, Italy, on November 23, 2025.

The Congress will include elections for the Presidency and a number of other Executive Board positions along with a series of other votes on World Boxing business.

The decision to relocate the Congress does not impact the forthcoming World Boxing Cup Finals which will take place in New Delhi over five days of competition from November 17-22, 2025.

World Boxing’s Acting Secretary General, Mike McAtee, explained: “The World Boxing Congress is one of the most significant events in the calendar and following discussions with the BFI, we reached a mutual agreement to separate this from the forthcoming World Boxing Cup Finals which will take place around the same time.

“We would like to thank the Italian Boxing Federation for offering to host the Congress and have no doubt this will be a fantastic occasion and a great opportunity for the World Boxing family to come together again.”

The President of the Boxing Federation of India, Ajay Singh said: “After positive discussions with our colleagues at World Boxing, we have mutually agreed to relocate the Congress to Italy. The decision was guided by logistical factors—such as travel-processing timelines—so that all delegates can participate smoothly.

“We will continue working hand-in-hand on the World Boxing Cup Finals and are focused on delivering a best-in-class event. The BFI is fully committed to a long-term relationship with World Boxing and to constructive collaboration with World Boxing and other National Federations.”

The President of the Italian Boxing Federation, Flavio D’Ambrosi added: “We are honored that Italy will be the host of such an important event as the first World Boxing Congress after recognition by the IOC. We will do everything to ensure the best conditions to run smoothly and I hope that the participating delegates can appreciate our hospitality as well as recognize with full satisfaction that Italy is a country that can host major sport events.

“I thank the World Boxing Board and am aware that we are hosting a historic and very important moment for the entire Olympic boxing movement. We will work hard and do everything responsibly to host delegates, authorities and participants in the right way giving to them the chance to express their membership to World Boxing and freely choose the governance that will guide us for the Los Angeles 2028 challenge.”
