So the first five years (almost) since the restructuring of the World Boxing Federation have flown by.

More than 250 championship bouts in this time, and we, I believe wholeheartedly, have made massive strides forwards in our men's division, and are now arguably the top sanctioning body in the world with regard to woman’s boxing.

We have built up in that time a considerably powerful team of administrators whose commitment, dedication and passion has collectively put us deservedly in a position of strength.

The important thing to note is that while we have had a positive half-decade, our work has only just begun as we continue to strive in setting the highest standards while following our philosophy of honesty, integrity, transparency and professionalism, coupled with the vital fact that we will continue to keep our belts meaningful and will never, as is the case elsewhere, create a conglomeration of ridiculous belts simply for financial reward.

The boxing public deserve better than being bombarded with belts with the most ridiculous of titles offered elsewhere.

The World Boxing Federation holds its annual AGM in Cologne, Germany this weekend, and I am looking forward to meeting up with our Executive Board Members whose hard work is acknowledged and applauded by me. These members are like a close-knit family and the passion and enthusiasm expected during a weekend of hard work, and possibly one relaxing dinner, will be of the highest level.

As we enter our presidential elections, I would like to personally thank each and every member of the World Boxing Federation for their diligence and commitment, and for mostly making my life as WBF President easy and enjoyable.

A toast to another great five years ahead. Cheers!

Until next time, keep boxing.


Howard Goldberg

PRESIDENT: World Boxing Federation
