Italian Matteo Fratini today resigned from his position as World Boxing Federation vice president, citing personal reasons for his retirement.
The 56-year-old from Rome, who is a respected international judge, served in this position for thirteen months since October 2009.
In view of his great merits, the WBF directory acclaimed Fratini as Honorary Consultant and WBF President Howard Goldberg stated:
“While we are sad that Matteo has stepped down, but at the same time respect his decision, we want to honour him with this non-executive post for his contribution and cooperation, because we are happy that Matteo will remain available for the World Boxing Federation with his experience and advice.”
Fratini will also stay on the Executive Committee and keep on accepting assignments as judge. The WBF directory will immediately endeavour to appoint a new vice president still this month.
