EBU - INFO

• EBU Board Meeting – 27th October 2018 – Pompei

•  

• it has been decided to strongly recommend all the staging promoters to send the contracts to the boxers for the signature immediately after the schedule of the fight.

• On the contrary, the promoter cannot have any to claim if one of the boxers is not able to respect the date scheduled for other commitments, as the belated communication of the execution date can cause this kind of disease.

• We recommend to respect this indication in order to avoid last-time forfeitures and several postponements of the same fight.

• On the other side, the boxers who will not respect the 28-days term between two contiguous fights, will be stripped off the title (if champions) or will lose the position of official challenger EX-OFFICIO, without reservations.
