Boxing News : BFI tells AIBA to send observer ahead of its upcoming polls

The International Boxing Association president Umar Kremlev has confirmed that the world body will send an observer for Boxing Federation of India’s elections to be held on February 3. He has also said that the request for an observer has come from BFI, who wants to have ‘free and fair’ elections. As far as the BFI polls are concerned, incumbent Ajay Singh is being challenged by BJP leader and former Mumbai Cricket Association head Ashish Sehlar for President’s post. The International Olympic Committee had suspended AIBA in 2019, alleging mismanagement in governance and AIBA chief is aiming to change that during his tenure.
