EUBC European U-22 October Men’s Elite TBC Championships EUBC Development & Projects European Boxing Academy & EUBC Courses
European Boxing Academy
• Our Continent needs to create an Academy in order to host and train our paramount pillars: Managers, Coaches, R&Js, ITOs. • To be effective, training must be uniform and centralized. Only in this way we will be able to facilitate the homogeneous boxing culture , management, promotion and also uniform vision and evaluation of the bouts. • Training must be considered as a strong investment for the future development of boxing and therefore must be borne by the Confederations. • This is why the Confederations should be given more resources from the funds that AIBA receives from the IOC. • We have this important opportunity to build the European Boxing Academy in Assisi, Italy, with full cooperation and support of local and national Institutions. • European Boxing Academy will be opened to all other Continents.
Boxing Management Course
• The Boxing Management Course is intended to answer the pressing need to train new boxing managers, endowing them with the capacities to promote the different forms of modern boxing and confront modern day sports challenges. • This course will be taught by specialized international instructors and aims to impart both a cultural and professional background that will help the Continental National Federations to realize their ambitions. • Keeping in step with the AIBA’s directive and innovations, it is important to have managers corresponding on the national and international levels to cultivate and construct a better grassroots future for our sport. • Quality managers must be able to develop promotion, communication, organization, new image and presentation of boxing events, launch new Stars of the Ring in order to receive more attention by media, sponsors and boxing fans.
Coach, R&J, ITO Courses
• Recovery of the credibility and popularity of Olympic boxing is closely linked to the development of a more in-depth sports culture and a better preparation of the fundamental pillars of our organization. The coaches, referees and judges, ITOs and the ringside doctors are expression of the evolution of the boxing technique and the organization of competitions at all levels. • Training of these figures, especially coaches, is a guarantee to enrich the Olympic boxing of new talents and new Stars of the ring. • Training of R&Js in order to have a unanimous view of the bout in the ring, will give correct and homogeneous results. • ITOs, in addition to receiving technical and organizational training for a better performance of the competition, must receive an ethical training in order to eliminate any attempt to manipulate the technical results. • Training of ring medical specialists has fundamental importance to prevent and avoid irreversible injuries and damages that can strongly damage the image of our sport.
Technical Results – Integrity & B.A.R. System
EUBC wants to protect the results of our athletes in all level boxing competitions. The latest Rio 2016 scandal forced the AIBA Executive Committee on the proposal of President WU to suspend all 36 R&Js present at the Olympic Games. We all voted in favor, but it wasn’t a fair and right choice. Only the true responsible people for manipulating the results had to be eliminated. Not just the R&Js make mistakes. We must hit those who force them to make mistakes. Therefore, we had asked Pat Fiacco, Chairman of the AIBA T & R Commission, to apply since the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, the B.A.R. system, which is an important tool in order to protect fare results and a strong deterrent for all those wishing to create unfair results. The B.A.R. gives the opportunity to review the bouts and assign the right verdict. We had hoped that after Rio 2016 the reintroduction of the protest and the application of the B.A.R. would have been a priority. But it was not. We therefore ask the new AIBA President and Executive Committee to include the B.A.R. System in the AIBA Technical Rules. Educational Boxing Promotion
We want to continue promoting boxing in schools at all levels more effectively. We have already had important feedback from Belarus and England. There are other countries, such as Russia and France, which for years have started the introduction to juvenile boxing. As a Confederation, we would like to promote initiatives aimed at the training of School Boxing Coaches and at the same time offer school leaders an excellent tool for students’ personality growth, health protection (i.e. prevention of juvenile obesity), self-control and self-esteem to fight an alarming phenomenon such as bullying.
