Following a meeting between board members of the Amateur Boxing Alliance (ABA) and Gianluca Di Caro, Vice President of the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA), at the London Military Boxing Club in Bromley, all parties agreed in principle to cross affiliate.
This historic agreement will provide not only a clear pathway for amateur boxers that seek to progress to the professional boxing ranks, but also to compete nationally on a planned Pro/Am tournament series, with ABA sanctioning the Amateur boxing contests and BIBA sanctioning the Professional boxing contests.
In addition the two organisations are also working together to develop international tournaments as well as an International Pro/Am series. Currently Pro/Am tournaments are in planning in Malta, Cyprus, Egypt and Israel, with further countries expected to be announced in the coming months.
