          If they kicked AIBA out for corruption then idk why they'd let them back in.

          Create a new group from the ground up. Thats what they are looking to do anyway it sounded like to me.

              Watch them elect some other shady Eastern European with ties to organised crime and say no, this guy is totally different from the last guy

                      The professional bodies are vying to take the the spot in amateur boxing.

                      The WBA have been fairly active in trying to replace the AIBA

                          Honestly can't say I love that idea, but its hard to imagine they could f#ck things up as bad as AIBA & be putting criminal kingpins into positions of power.
