World Boxing has released its European Confederation calendar for 2025. It includes 23 international tournaments for age categories from School to Elite, and the full suite of European Championships at all underage/transitional age categories:
World Boxing currently has 78 member federations, globally. Of those, 56 are dual members of World Boxing and IBA.
IBA approved changes to its constitution on December 7th 2024, permitting dual membership under certain conditions. On January 17th last, IABA made contact with IBA to seek permission to use this dual membership mechanism. Should IBA approve, IABA clubs will be provided with an opportunity to vote on staying with IBA and joining World Boxing.
To date, 5 weeks later, IBA has yet to issue a decision on IABA’s application. None of the 56 existing dual members had to submit an application for permission to join World Boxing.
