CONGRESS

The World Boxing Congress is held annually to vote on key decisions, discuss important issues and promote good governance and financial transparency.  All members are entitled to take part and vote in the Congress which is the highest authority of the organisation and has the power to amend World Boxing’s Statutes; elect the President and Executive Board; and admit, suspend, expel and reinstate member National Federations.

The Executive Board and all of World Boxing’s key Commissions are accountable to the Congress and must report to it annually.  Elections for the Presidency and the Executive Board are held at Congress bi-annually.

The inaugural World Boxing Congress was held at the Mainarcaden Venue in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on 25 November 2023 and included World Boxing’s first ever elections when members voted for a range of offices including the President, Vice Presidents (VPs) and places on World Boxing’s Executive Board, along with the Chairs of the Sport and Competition Committee, the Medical and Anti-Doping Committee and the Finance and Audit Committee.

The elections were overseen by an experienced, independent, third-party organisation and scrutineers were onsite to ensure the veracity of the processes and confirm that candidates were treated in a fair and equitable manner.

The second World Boxing Congress took place on 3 November 2024 in Colorado Springs, USA, when it was decided to increase the weight classes at World Boxing’s competitions to 10 categories for both men and women.

The next World Boxing Congress will be held in November 2025 in New Delhi, India, following the conclusion of the World Boxing Cup Finals 2025. It will include elections for the Presidency, Vice-Presidency and Executive Board of World Boxing.
