Guyana Boxing Association president and newly elected AIBA Executive Committee member, Steve Ninvalle, has been congratulated by president of the world governing body Dr. Ching-Kwo Wu. 

In a letter seen by Chronicle Sport yesterday Dr. Wu reasoned that with Ninvalle’s support and dedication, AIBA will continue to implement all the necessary reforms for the betterment of our beloved sport.

The letter reads: “I would like to extend my sincere congratulations upon your recent election as amember of the AIBA Executive Committee.
This important result is the right recognition for the unshakable devotion to the development of boxing followed by the exceptional results achieved in the past years.
Therefore, I am confident that with your support and dedication we will continue to implement all the necessary reforms for the betterment of our beloved sport.
Once again, I congratulate you for this accomplishment and look forward to working with you for the next four years hand to hand with the other members of the Executive Committee. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavours, I send you my warmest and most heartfelt regards.”

Ninvalle created history last Friday in South Korea when he became the first person from the English speaking Caribbean to be elected to the Executive Committee of the world’s second most powerful sport organisation.

AIBA has 197 affiliated countries.
