The AIBA elections will be held in Korea on November 10-15, in which Ching-Kuo Wu is again nominated for the position of the AIBA President who in recent years being the head of this structure, has introduced many innovations trying to save the amateur boxing reputation. In the upcoming elections, Artur Gevorgyan, the NA MP, also President of Armenia’s Boxing Federation, is first time nominated for the candidates for the AIBA Executive Committee members. Artur Gevorgyan has passed a long way in this sport.
How was this serious and important decision made? Artur Gevorgyan said to Aravot.am, “The suggested came from Mr. Wu. During our first meeting, we had a very interesting conversation up to a clash of views. He liked that there is one, who opposes him. Mr. Wu asking why I am not in the AIBA Executive Committee, suggested me to be included in the candidates in the upcoming elections.” To the question of whether there are chances, Artur Gevorgyan replied, “The elections are going to be very difficult. 260 countries will vote. The competition will be great. The candidates have presented their CVs. I have studied the biographies of my future competitors to orient to whom I will vote for. Unlike many others, I am from sports, moreover, from boxing. In fact, both amateur and professional. I am a sportsman participating in two Olympic Games and a World and Continental Championships, I am working in the government, and I am in the politics, today. In other words, I present from a very active field. I think they should be interested in this.”
