On behalf of the ANBF we are very pleased to announce that as a part of our new initiative the WBC and IBF are working with the ANBF in terms of rating recommendations. The ANBF have been given the opportunity by these leading world sanctioning bodies to recommend our Australian champions and contenders for world rating consideration. We are also in communication with the WBO on the very same agreement. We are of the belief that if we can get into the situation of our leading contenders seeking the National title prior to taking on International competition they will be far better prepared to take the necessary step up.
With the ANBF being the long time recognised sanctioning body since 1965 in Australia we have developed long term relationships with the recognised and respected International bodies and we are looking forward to working further towards not only adding to the prestige of the Australian title but assisting our champions and contenders with International recognition.
Already a few opportunities have arisen during our initial discussions with the WBC when we were made aware of the opportunities for two Australian based boxers to contest WBC International titles in the Light Heavyweight and Welterweight divisions. The information was passed on to the respective managers.
We are confident we will have the recognition of the entire leading World sanctioning bodies to recommend our worthy champions for rating consideration
