As the new season fast
approaches, not just the world’s
famous football clubs are busy
announcing new signings of star
players, also the World Boxing
Federation is adding some
further big names to their
high-quality staff that are sure
to add value to the
organization, which is on the
fast-track to becoming a major
player on the world scene.
Germany’s Dominik Junge (45)
inherits the currently vacant
position of Women’s Boxing
Chairman with immediate effect.
“We’ve had on-going discussions
with Dominik since almost half a
year,” says WBF Vice President
Jean Marcel Nartz, “and we are
proud he is now joining our
team, because in female boxing
he is a known quantity sure to
add further impetus to the WBF.”
After finishing his own
successful Kick- and Thaiboxing
career in 1993, Junge not just
concentrated on his flourishing
IT business, but started out to
develop training systems and
marketing strategies for female
boxers and working as cutman in
countless female title fights.
Due to this, he gained relations
from his home base of Karlsruhe
in womens boxing worldwide,
which he will now put to use for
the WBF.
“Professionalism and passion is
what results in success,”
explains Junge, who since 2008
worked for the Women’s
International Boxing Federation
(WIBF), before now making his
move to the World Boxing
Federation. Such is his status
in Germany, that he is a regular
guest on TV and radio programs
as well as source of comment for
newspapers and magazines when it
comes to female boxing.
“I have contacts in every area
of the sport and working for the
WBF will be a new challenge to
me with the focus on assisting
in developing the WBF to be
regarded as a major sanctioning
body,” said Calogero, and
further explains: “I believe the
time is right for the WBF,
especially how most fans
perceive the current major
players.”
Last but not least, Iranian
sports manager Behnam Azampanah
will try to introduce the WBF in
the Middle East as the Regional
Representative for that aera.
The 34-year-old Teheran resident
is a former one-time Iranian
amateur boxing champion, but has
made himself a name on an
international level in different
martial arts.
Welcome in the team, Dominik,
Bill and Behnam! |
