Indian Amateur Boxing Federation

NEW DELHI: Current Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president N Ramachandran and IOA secretary general Rajeev Mehta have locked horns over the issue of recognition to the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (IABF), just six months after the IOA recognised the Boxing Federation of India (BFI).

The Abhay Singh Chautala-led coterie that ran the erstwhile Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (IABF), was sidelined after world governing body AIBA and the International Olympic Council (IOC) de-recognised IABF for 'flawed and faulty elections' in 2014.
