NEW DELHI: This should have come on the expected lines for the International Boxing Association (IBA). The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) team of ‘observers’ from Lausanne hasn’t shown up at the women’s World Championships here until now to monitor the IBA and its ongoing governance reform, practices and activities.
The accreditations of the observers have been lying unattended with the organisers, with no update on their arrival either available with the IBA or the hosts, Boxing Federation of India (BFI). An IOC team led by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was expected in India to see first-hand IBA’s best practices regarding technical and competitions rules, specifically its heralded bout review process.
