Dr. Adam Balogh, the Medical
Advisor of the World Boxing
Federation, has now published on
this website the newly adopted
General
Medical Guidelines
for World Boxing Federation
championship contests worldwide.
The detailed formulation of
these guidelines became part of
Dr. Balogh’s responsibilities
after assuming the post of WBFed
Medical Advisor at this years’
WBFed World Convention in
Tirana, Albania. At this
convention, Dr. Balogh also
conducted a successful Medical
Seminar.
“I believe with our new medical
guidelines the World Boxing
Federation now has probably the
best elaborated medical
standards in the whole world,
possibly matched only by the
Nevada State Athletic
Commission,” said Dr. Balogh,
who also works for the German
Boxing Federation (BDB) and is a
practicing surgeon for over 20
years, “however, this is not to
say that other organization,
roughly spoken, allow blind
fighters to box, just that we at
the WBFed want to see all
medical rules and regulations
set in a most clear and precise
way.”
All ringside physicians at WBFed
championship fights are
requested to carefully study the
General Medical Guidelines and
adhere to them. Besides fighters
and trainers certainly
benefitting from doing the same
prior to boxing for World Boxing
Federation titles, all boxing
physicians and national
commissions worldwide are
invited to make use of the
General Medical Guidelines for
the betterment of the sport.
“Without question, Dr. Balogh
has done an outstanding job so
far and his work is further
proof that the World Boxing
Federation desires to become a
serious force in world boxing,”
WBFed president Howard Goldberg
of South Africa commented.
All ringside physicians and/or
commissions are cordially
invited to correspond
respectively ask questions of
Dr. Balogh via email
adamattilabalogh@arcor.de.
