Very recently the WBF became
part of the very exclusive and
limited group of sanctioning
organizations legally accepted
by the Spanish sports ministry
and the Spanish Boxing
Federation (FEB) to operate in
the country.
At a recent meeting in Madrid,
WBF Executive Director Olaf
Schroeder sat down with newly
elected FEB President Domingo
Matas Prado in the offices of
the Federacion Espanola de Boxeo
to discuss their cooperation,
goals and visions.
“We
consider the FEB’s ‘stamp of
approval’ a big compliment for
the hard work the WBF has done
over the years,” says Schroeder,
“and we look forward to an
honest and open partnership with
the FEB. We always strive to
give the sport an organization
to be proud of, so hopefully
Spain will become an important
member country of the WBF.”
Matas Prado especially
complimented the WBF on its new
anti-doping rules, because the
FEB President is a huge advocate
of stringent controls. Just
like, for example, in France,
the Spanish Federation will
conduct tests for all future WBF
championship bouts in their
country.
