Founded in 1946, December sees AIBA celebrating 70 years as the governing body of international boxing.
For seven decades, AIBA has sought to constantly evolve boxing, introducing ground-breaking reforms that have shaped it into one of the most popular sports in the world today.
New competitions including WSB (2010) and APB Boxing (2015) have been launched, while the repealing of the decision in 1984 to make headguards compulsory for Olympic boxers and the rapid assimilation of Women’s Boxing since 1994 have kept AIBA at the vanguard of world boxing.
In 2016, AIBA reached the landmark of 200 National Federation members, the ever-growing number is symbolic of the work being done to listen to the needs of the NFs and their boxers and always act in their interests.
The first AIBA Men’s World Boxing Championships took place in Havana, Cuba in 1974, before the Juniors competition made its debut appearance in Japan five years later.
AIBA has consistently evolved and raised the standard and profile of its international events, with the 2015 Men’s World Championships in Doha marking new levels of production values and audience reach.
Today, AIBA hosts bi-annual Men’s and Women’s World Championships at Elite, Youth and Junior levels, and its boxers compete at major global multi-sport events including the Olympic and Youth Olympic Games, the European, Pan-American and Pan-Asian Games, the Commonwealth Games, as well as the four Continental Boxing Championships held by AIBA Confederations.
