AFBC Normalisation Committee Announces Major Progress on Prize Money Payments, Championship Preparations, and Federation Leadership Updates
August 26th, 2025 / AFBC, Normalisation Committee
The AFBC Normalisation Committee, under the guidance of the International Boxing Association (IBA), is pleased to announce significant developments in its ongoing efforts to restore integrity, transparency, and operational excellence within African boxing.
In response to unresolved issues stemming from previous AFBC administrations, the Committee has successfully processed outstanding prize money payments for events held in Mozambique, Maputo, and Tunisia. The final stage of payments related to the Kinshasa event is currently underway, with full resolution expected by early September 2025. This milestone reflects a renewed commitment to fairness and accountability, with a total of $312,500 USD disbursed over the past ten days.
Preparations for the AFBC Elite Male and Female Championships, scheduled for October 2025, are progressing well. National Federations that submitted bids through the Committee’s official process are now in the final stages of host city agreement management. The Committee expresses its gratitude to all participating federations for their dedication to African boxing. The official host city announcement is expected by mid-next week.
The Committee thanks all National Federations that responded to the June request for updated leadership details. These submissions are essential for effective communication and coordination across the continent. Based on the responses, the Committee has identified leadership challenges in certain federations and is actively providing support to address them. Federations that have not yet submitted their details are urged to do so promptly. A reminder email will be sent shortly.
The AFBC Normalisation Committee extends its sincere appreciation to all stakeholders contributing to the revitalization of African boxing. The unwavering support of Mr Umar Kremlev and the IBA team underscores a shared commitment to unity and growth across the sport.
