The World Boxing Federation
(WBF) is saddened by the
resignation of Vice President
Jean-Marcel Nartz, who, due to
health reasons, has decided to
retire from boxing at the age of
73, after five decades of boxing
administration.
“The
untimely and unbelievable
passings of my good friends Olaf
Schroeder, Juergen Lutz, Dean
Powel, Dennie Mancini, Dan
Goosen, Cedric Kushner, Rene
Monse, Graciano Rocchigiani and
Markus Beyer in recent years
gave me a big warning signal.
They were all younger than me”,
says Nartz.
“Boxing
was and is my life, but at my
age I have to step back a bit
now.”
WBF President Howard Goldberg:
“We wish Marcel all the best in
his retirement, and thank him
for many years of selfless
dedication and commitment to the
WBF.”
Christian Roesen, WBF Executive
Director, adds: “Marcel has
always been a tower of strength
in German boxing, and he will
definitely be missed.
He was excellent, working
for the WBF as Vice President,
Championship Committee member
and as a judge.”
