May 3 - 2010:
The inaugral - and hugely
successful - World Boxing
Federation Convention 2010
in Albania came to an end this
morning with the closing press
conference held at the Tirana
International Hotel.
WBFed Honory President Ylli
Ndroqi thanked the many
delegates from around the globe
for their participation and a
very proud world middleweight
champion Kreshnik Qato displayed
his WBFed belt after again
successfully defending it the
previous night.
Title fight referee Tonio Tiberi
of Luxemburg also paid tribute
to Esteban Ponce for a gallant
challenge before everyone
departed with the bus service to
Mother Theresa International
Airport for the journey home. A
convention to remember had come
to an end.
Before departing, many delegates
gave their opinion on the WBFed
Convention 2010:
Darryl Ribbink (South
Africa): "I enjoyed it very
much, especially meeting many
new faces."
Juan Pablo Manfredi
(Argentina): "A
well-organized convention in a
very exclusive hotel. Albania

the seminars could have been
