International Boxing Association (AIBA)furious with the current logjam in the suspended Indian Boxing Federation(IBF)has terminated the IBF from its fold stating that the current set of office-bearers are

“damaging the image, reputation and interest” of the sport.

In a tersely-worded statement, the AIBA said it is not in a position to make a “proper” judgement on how to handle India’s case after receiving conflicting communications from various stakeholders.

The boxers and coaches will, however, continue to remain unaffected by the development and can participate in international events under the AIBA flag till the time the crisis is unresolved

AIBA president Ching Kuo Wu said the IBF is unlikely to be re-recognised till the time a new set of officials take charge after fresh elections, the screening of candidates for which would be done by the world body
