As part of its plan to strengthen its regional affiliates, the World Boxing Association together with WBA Asia and the Vietnam Boxing Commission are pleased to announce the holding of the WBA Asia Convention, from August 9 to 11 in HoChiMin City, Vietnam.
The initiative led by the WBA in Asia, with the support of the Vietnam Boxing Commission, will bring together the Asian boxing family for three days of intense institutional, academic, social and sporting activity.
Won Kim, director of WBA Asia, announced the details of the agenda. The event starts on August 9 with the balance of the activities carried out by the WBA regional body, the introduction of boxing in Vietnam and the presentation of the WBA Asian Tournament Plan, as central themes.
The matches will end on August 11, with a boxing show that will be part of the WBA’s Drugs KO program.
The event will mark the history of sport in Vietnam, as it will be the first time that a professional boxing convention is held in that country. For this event, the support of the Vietnam Boxing Commission (VBC), the body in charge of the Vietnamese government to regulate boxing activity, has been essential. Through the VBC, different Vietnamese government agencies have expressed their support for the WBA Asia Convention.
It will be an extraordinary opportunity to bring together the entire Asian boxing family, an area that has seen its activity grow steadily in recent years.
Strengthening the regions is strategic for the WBA, which works on a coordinated plan with its regional organizations to promote the development and growth of boxing of the pioneering organization in the world. The WBA Asia Convention will be a step in that direction.
The WBA family is very happy to go to Vietnam to celebrate together with WBA Asia and the Vietnam Boxing Commission this historic event.
