SUBJECT: President's Report on 2015

Dear Member ofthe AIBA Family,

As 2015 is coming to an end,I am very proud to see that once again we have made manyimportant steps towards the development of Boxing by carrying out very successful events in

the three AIBA formats: AOB, WSB and APB.

WSB Season V has taken the competition to anotherlevel, with the returning BritishLionhearts and China Dragons adding new depth to WSB, while three Franchises alsoemerged, as Caciques Venezuela, Morocco Atlas Lions and Puerto Rico Hurricanes allcompeted superbly across the group stages.

This year we have finally launched the AIBA Pro-Boxing competition and we are looking atitsspectacularresults with great pride and satisfaction.Its success is a clear sign that we all

worked wellin bringing to the world the pinnacle of pro boxing, with unparalleledtransparency in professional boxing.

Underthese auspices,I would like to take this opportunity to putin a nutshell allthe majoractivities and achievements ofthis extraordinary year.

In January and February 2015, watched by boxing media,fans and fellow fighters all overtheworld,the Inaugural Title Matches crowned the first APB Champions across lo weightcategories.

On February 2-4 in Lausanne we carried outthe AIBA Commission Meetings. This wasindeed a very productive gathering during which I had the opportunity to witness the tirelesswork of one of AlBA's most productive endeavours.

During the SportAccord Convention in April,the ASOIF General Assembly took place inSochi, where some key decisions concerning SummerInternational Federations were takenIn addition,I had the honour of being elected as ASOIF Vice-President, on the occasion of

the ASOIF Council Elections.

In May,the 2015 AIBA Women's Junior/Youth World Boxing Championships were held inTaipei. Continuing the excellent ascent of women's boxing in terms of popularity,the finalnumber ofregistered athletes was 441from 45 nations. Many excellent performances in the

髒鱷繼ring delighted the watching crowd, and they all superbly displayed the uncapped potential of

women's boxing worldwide.

On June 20-21, and after an amazing Regular Season dominated by Cuba Domadores andAstana Arlans Kazakhstan, both teams clashed in two days of Finals in Astana that showedthe best world boxing level. Astana Arlans Kazakhstan defeated Cuba Domadores tobecome the WSB Season V champions and the firsttime who crown two times the

competition.

Between June and July three major continental multi-sports competitions took place. Bakuhas hosted the first ever European Games. Forthe firsttime, European boxers from allthree

of AlBA's competitions battled against each other, with a total of 220 men and 66 womenboxers competing in lo men's and 5 women's weight categories. Atthe Pacific Games inPort Moresby, AIBA lived another historic momentfor women, as they have competed in theboxing eventforthe very firsttime in history ofthe Games. During the Pan American Games,Toronto hosted a total of120 men and women boxers who competed across 13 weightclasses to determine who is the bestin the Americas'region.

On July 7-9 the AIBA Executive Committee gathered forits annual meeting in Doha, QatarDuring this three day meeting the EC made many important decisions forthe future of our

sport.

In my position as IOC Executive Board Member,I attended the 128th IOC Session from July30 to August 3, which took place in Kuala Lumpur. These were very exciting days which

culminated with the awarding of 2022 Winter Olympic Games to the candidate city Beijing.

During the month of September a worldwide AIBA eventtook place in St. Petersburg,the2015 AIBA Junior World Championships, which saw a sensational number of 407 boxers of46 nationalities registered forthis year's edition, a significantincrease comparing to 2013Championships. This demonstrates the vitality of boxing and its development all overthe

world.

In October we gathered in Doha for AlBA's mostimportant event ofthe year:the 2015 AIBAWorld Boxing Championships. Qatar welcomed 243 boxers representing 69 countries,displaying the universal appeal of our sportin an outstanding venue with a first class

organization. This edition of #AIBAWorlds2015 reflected the dynamic development of boxingall overthe world and has set a true benchmark forthe upcoming competitions as we sawthe highest quality boxing, event organization, broadcast operations as well as manydistinguished guests, such as Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan and the Klitschko brothers.

Atthe Extraordinary Meeting ofthe AiBA Executive Committee on October13,the bid to hostthe 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships was awarded to the city of Hamburg, Germany.

While the World Championships were taking place, Doha was also stage to anotherimportant milestone in AIBA:the officiallaunch of HeadsUp!, a new initiative committed tothe health, education and careers of our boxers. The program aims at bringing awareness tothe boxers,their coaches as well as the Referees and Judges of AIBA.Itis an initiative to

promote education on several aspects of boxing, although with a focus ofimproving theathletes' style of boxing' where the boxers have to keep their heads up.

On November 29,1 proudly attended the ANOC Gala Awards 2015 in Washington D.C.,where two of our most outstanding Boxers, Ms Katie Taylor and Ms Jennifer Chieng were

awarded Best Female Athlete ofthe European Games 2015 and Best Female Athlete ofthePacific Games 2015 respectively.

Finally, we had the chance to witness three major APB Bouts, as K2 Productions' undercardsFirst,the unprecedented APB heavyweightranking curtain-raiserforthe hotly anticipated

bout between Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko in the 50,000 spectators packed EspritArena in Dusseldorf, Germany. Later on in December, Kyiv's sold out Palace of Sports wasthe venue for a huge Saturday night of boxing in Ukraine, with Olympic Gold MedalistOleksandr Usyk's battle against Cuban Pedro Rodriguez headlining the event. Theundercard ofthe event saw two key AIBA Pro Boxing contests starring AlBA's outstanding

talent.

On a last note,I would like to emphasize that, with boxers' safety as AIBA top priority, ourdecision ofremoving the headguards in elite men competitions has proven to be the rightpath, as after studying more than 11,000 bouts all overthe world, ourresearch shows thatconcussions have drastically dropped and the number of cuts registered has also

significantly decreased. With IOC's final approval on this subject scheduled for March 2016,the positive scientific results shown in multiple medicalreports are certainly very encouraging

Now, as this yearis winding down, we can look atthe future with the confidence thatthere isno such thing like an impossible goal. Our achievements speak forthemselves. Thanks toyour continued support and contribution, AIBA has never stopped developing our sport. Forthis reason,I would like to encourage all of you to continue on this path in view of next year'schallenges among which the mostimportant are the Rio Olympic Games 2016.

Looking forward to seeing you in the upcoming events,I wish you a joyous 2016

Yours in Boxing,
