Delayed due to the adoption of AIBA rules. This will give clubs and boxers time to adjust.

ABA wont be ABA for much longer, rebranding to England Boxing I think as AIBA are requesting all National Federations remove amateur from their title. Part of AIBA's bid to govern all boxing not just amateur.

"You know what would be a good idea?"

"Yeah? What?"

"Lets try and fragment boxing even further"

Yep! Power hungry people who don't even care about boxing are doing this to the sport.
