NEW DELHI: Left with no choice after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled against Umar Kremlev-led International Boxing Association (IBA), India’s national governing body for the sport – BFI, headed by SpiceJet chairman and managing director Ajay Singh – on Friday switched allegiance to avoid International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) wrath and joined hands with Switzerland-based breakaway body, World Boxing (WB).
This move will save the country’s boxers from facing isolation at both the international and multisport events.
