Amateur Boxing Association of England chief executive Paul King is set to challenge C K Wu for the presidency of the International Boxing Association (AIBA).
A statement by King, addressed to boxing friends and family and seen by Inside the Games, said that after 40 years’ involvement in the sport, he has decided to stand for the AIBA presidency at the forthcoming Congress, which will take place in Kazakhstan, with the vote scheduled for November 2.
King’s statement argues that boxing is "at a crossroads".
"What I seek is change," it continued. "But change which represents the best interests of the worldwide boxing community."
The statement goes on to say that AIBA "currently controls boxing from the centre" and to state that "ownership needs to return to its rightful place – in the hands of its members".
