There can be no mistaking that our 202 National Federation members need to be putting their strategies for Tokyo 2020 success in place now if they are to make an impact in three years’ time, and AIBA remains true to its continuous commitment to work for the best interest of boxing and support all our affiliated members ,” said AIBA President Dr Ching-Kuo Wu.

Mr Contreras underlined his support for AIBA and its President and praised the global educational programmes taking place under the HeadsUp banner, making clear his wish to build an academy that will develop the future generations of Mexico’s boxing talent in the spirit of the core values shared by AIBA and FEMEBOX.
