Kremlev and the new Aiba: “I work on the grassroots, fight against doping and better arbitrage”

For about three months and with 57.33% of the votes of 155 countries, the Russian Umar Kremlev has been president of Aiba (International Boxing Association), the world amateur boxing federation. His task is difficult to say the least, considering that the IOC has suspended Aiba also depriving it of the organization of the boxing tournament at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 due to serious governance problems. On the board of Aiba directors there is the tireless and tireless Umbrian Franco Falcinelli as vice president and president of Eubc, the European confederation of amateur boxing as well as faithful supporter of Kremlev so much so that, in Umbria, in S. Maria degli Angeli-Assisi ( Pg), the European Boxing Academy will soon be active for the training of technicians, referees / judges, doctors, cutmen, managers.
