Asian Boxing is the continental federation for amateur boxing in Asia organized under World Boxing. It was established on November 26, 2024, after the Asian Boxing Confederation (ASBC) held a meeting to decide on its affiliation with International Boxing Association (IBA).[1] The majority of ASBC members voted to remain part of the IBA. ASBC President Pichai Chunhavajira resigned after the meeting to head the new federation.[1] The Boxing Federation of India holds seven key positions within the new organization, including BFI president Ajay Singh, who was appointed to the board.[2]
