IBA suspends four National Federations for joining rogue governing body'

"The four (federations) consisting of the New Zealand Boxing Association, German Boxing Association, Swedish Boxing Federation, and the Dutch Boxing Federation were guilty of breaching the rules and regulations and were suspended as IBA members.

"All of them were given the right to be heard but none refused categorically their participation in the rogue governing body nor distancing themselves from the organization," IBA said in a statement.

In April this year, a group of countries including the USA and Britain announced the formation of a new organisation called 'World Boxing' hoping to preserve boxing as part of the Olympic programme amid an ongoing feud between the IBA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The IBA had filed an official complaint to the Boxing Independent Integrity Unit (BIIU) last month against individuals and entities involved in the creation of a "rogue boxing organization".
