WBF President Howard Goldberg Speaks

WBF Presidents Column May 2013: The next few months in the World Boxing Federation’s calendar are chaotic in a good way. Just watch the Schedule section on our website: There are fights scheduled in Mexico, Morocco, France, Switzerland, South Africa, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and a few more countries to be finalized rather soon and of course we are extremely excited to be holding our convention in Saarbruecken, Germany in September where we hope to meet up with old friends and naturally make many new friends.
Having lived my whole life in South Africa, I witnessed the ugliness and horror of apartheid, where the masses were ruled by a small minority and where democracy simply did not exist. The minority ruled with great force and often intimidated the masses with torture and victimization. It was a sad time in South Africa’s history, but the release of Nelson Mandela, arguably the greatest man in the world, coupled with free and democratic elections enabled South Africa to become a free and great country. The bottom line is that inevitably democracy and freedom will always triumph over bullying and intimidation. Nowhere in the world should such a horror similar to apartheid be allowed to resurface.
The WBF’s growth in Mexico last year draws an interesting comparison to apartheid. It is sad that certain of our champions have been threatened and forced to relinquish their hard earned WBF titles, simply to accommodate the wishes of certain people who control certain television networks and other people, and like apartheid, control them through fear and intimidation. The WBF has never had a problem with our champions moving to other organizations, in fact in certain cases we have supported them – but all we ask is for these champions to make their choices out of their own free will, and not to be threatened to do so.
We at the WBF believe entirely on fighters having the right to fight for different sanctioning bodies, we believe in fighters’ rights to earn an income to live. They are, after all, professionals who sacrifice much in their striving to be successful. We at the WBF have never, and will never, threaten fighters or managers – we will never stand in the way of fighters who have other opportunities.
We will always strive for honesty, integrity and professionalism and rather than look at the other sanctioning bodies and how they operate, we prefer to look at ourselves and to do things as professionally as possible, always looking at how we can improve and how we can bring legitimacy to boxing.
Mexico is one of the greatest boxing countries in the world and has always been. The passion among boxing people in Mexico is virtually unrivalled. Mexico deserves the best. Mexico deserves having their champions being proud of their titles irrespective of the organization they represent. A champion is a champion! What Mexico doesn’t deserve are bullies who believe they are bigger than this great sport of ours. Boxing would surely be better off without such arrogant crooks who believe in intimidation and bullying, but are in fact the embodiment of corruption themselves.

Eva Rolle To Launch ‘Boxing Outreach Program’ In Malta

Eva Rolle To Launch ‘Boxing Outreach Program’ In Malta

By Alexander Zammit

Boxing is a sport that for hundreds of years has fired the imagination of youths and the not so young. In many countries around the world many organizations have boxing programs which are intended to reach youths in under-privileged areas.

Boxing Programs have been proven not only to provide exercise & health but a feeling of camaraderie amongst those participating. Law enforcement agencies in many countries use boxing to bridge the gap between law enforcement, youths and the community.

Boxing outreach programs provide positive interaction between youths and the community, especially reaching out to those to those youths considered at risk for making poor choices in their lives.

‘Malta Boxing Council’ president Eva Rolle is expected to give details of Malta’s first outreach boxing program, during a press conference which is expected to be held at the Bugibba Hotel on the 30th of May.

The Press Conference will highlight the Professional Boxing Night, which is being promoted by Micallef promotions for the 7th of June and Eva Rolle’s plans for launching the Malta Out-Reach Boxing Program for youths.

Eva Rolle has already launched with success similar programs in Germany and Turkey.
“Boxing is not only about winning titles but it is a way to reach the community and youths by offering an alternative and healthier lifestyle and instilling self discipline leading to better integration into the community. The program will also offer support and advice to youths in avoiding negative decisions which lead to devastating life-long consequences” said Eva Rolle
.

Eva Rolle along with local boxing promoter Edwin Micallef will be addressing the press conference which will be held at the TBH in Qawra on the 30th May, 2013. Also Present for this press conference which is open to the press and the general public will be a number of local boxers who will be participating in the professional boxing night, which is to be held at the Bugibba Holiday Complex on the 7th of June
