This is no surprise. The WSB has been the test for such a move. I hope AIBA falls flat on their face.The International Boxing Association's (AIBA) President C K Wu made a historic announcement today in which he revealed that the governing body for amateur boxing will make a major move into professional boxing.
Re: AIBA to launch Professional programme....
What a waste of time. AIBA should focus their time and resources on improving amateur boxing. Leave professional boxing to characters like Bob Arum and Don King. From what I can see, the WSB hasn't exactly been a great success.
