Nothing wrong with the wbc trying to help build the boxing scene in the middle East. The problem is making Amir president!

You guys are hating but there's nothing wrong with this they are trying to build up the sport in a region that hasn't produced many champions what's wrong with that? More competition and possibility of getting some of these youth into boxing and give them a way out. Whether you like Amir or not he is a philanthropist and he truly likes to help he should be good for the position as it seems his boxing career is nearing its end.

I actually agree with this. I'm not sure how many of you have the knowledge of what this position would actually involve, or do on a daily basis. Myself, I don't know. But if there's a direction to develop boxing in any way shape or for, and it helps build the sport, even if it's small, it's more focused development than we have without it. I don't know Khan personally, but I hope he does well with whatever direction it goes. Hell I'm happy if a local gym would open up around me. Why would we hate something of this nature? Again, a bunch of negative nancys here

The faithful rejoice in Islamabad!

Pakistan is South East Asia, not the Middle East, they probably should have used someone with actual history in the region

A active boxer shouldn't be running anything for a ABC group.

Am sure the fact that he is a ****** plays a part, because he isn’t of Middle Eastern descent. He already does a lot for Pakistan in trying to develop boxing there, if he can do the same in other ****** countries in the Middle East then more power to him. It doesn’t affect me, but it’s hilarious to see the crying �� by some here ��

Hopefully he can organise the Billy Dib rematch.

"I witnessed my dear late father, José Sulaimán, the Lifetime President of the WBC, express to Amir his dream of developing boxing in the Middle East. My father, son of Lebanese father and Syrian mother, recognized the potential of that region". So is Sulaiman saying that his father was full-blood Lebanese?

Taz Khan as vice president. Who will he appoint next....Imran Khan? Chaka Khan?
