April 30 – 2010: Delegates from over a dozen countries – some from places as far away as South Africa, the US, Australia and Argentina – today arrived in the Albanian capital Tirana for the inaugural World Boxing Federation Convention and were greeted by WBFed President Howard Goldberg and WBFed Honory President Ylli Ndroqi.
The Tirana International Hotel hosts the event and after check-in, registration and a necessary rest the WBFed executives got together for a short meeting to discuss the conventions’ timetable.
In the evening, all guests attended the Welcome Cocktail Party, which included a traditional Albanian show presented by Mr. Ndroqi.
Tomorrow the Albanian Minister of Sports and the country’s Prime Minister Mr. Sali Berisha will be in attendance at the official opening ceremony, which is being televised live on national TV channel Ora News.
