1st competition under the new governing body

Not entirely true, to be honest . Unlike the IBA, World Boxing has a world cup circuit with many well-known names. In addition, there were the junior world championships last year.

[Federer91 3,112]

This thing starts in 2 days, yet we once again have to be detectives to get any kind of information... It's the bloody World Championships not some regional tournament in Timbuktu. 

 

New Governing body, new officials yadda-yadda, yet the organization is on the same old amateurish level. I'm not even fascinated anymore on how 10-ish sports always have the most blandest websites for their events. 

 

At least i found out our team, because they already left for England. 

 

Men:

 

50kg - Ergyunal Sebahtin

55kg - Javier Ibanez

60kg - Radoslav Rosenov

65kg - Viktorio Iliev

 

75kg - Rami Kiwan

80kg - William Cholov

85kg - Simion Boldirev

+90kg - Yordan Morejon

 

We should have had a boxer at 70kg as well, but Yasen Radev sustained an injury in the final sparring's before the WCH.

 

Women:

 

48kg - Sevda Asenova

51kg - Venelina Poptoleva

80kg - Aleyna Mehmed

 

The women's roster is disappointing and strangely shallow. Not sure if this is a weird transitional period before the new Olympics cycle, but it is a stark contrast from the past decade, when we usually had 6-8 girls at the Women's WCH.

Not too surprising but Khelife refused to participate when governing body demanded tests to confirm sex. Even sued them to CAS. 

So, we have to trust Khelife that she is woman. 

Yeah, sure. 

[Ogreman 379]

Ok, I'm not sure why I do to myself, like obviously to an extent I enjoy it but I don't use my own rankings that much and I don't even look at old rankings I have done when I am making new ones but well yeah whether anyone wants them or not I have ranked all the boxers for these worlds, the lack of entry lists made this a lot harder than it shoud have been.

 

Anyway so numbers wise, so these world championships have 540 entries (213 women and 327 men) from 64 countries. The IBA world championships in 2023 between the mens and womens events had 862 entries (324 women and 538 men) from about 110 countries and that was with about 20 countries boycotting due to Russian participation.

Now that is not necessarily a fair comparison comparing the year before an Olympics to the year after and the womens iba world championships earlier this year only had 239 from 50 countries. Also of course in both cases the IBA have more weightclass (13 men's, 12 women's).

 

That is to say a couple of things, I dont think this is a bad outcome entries wise for world boxing and the practicalities of running the event would have been tricky had they got a lot more entries (The IBA reasons for having mens and womens championships wasn't just ye know sexism, it does its advantages) but they still have a fair way to go.

 

From a quality perspective for what my two cents, I would say the quality of the womens worlds here and the IBA's in March are roughly equivalent, the field is a bit deeper, not quite as strong at the top but at the same spread over fewer weightclasses. On the mens, I have to say I'm a little dissapointed, some of the weightclasses are strong with a good mix of youth and experience but some are surprisingly weak.

 

But yeah the IBA looks pretty dead like, they have been trying and failing to find a host for their mens world champs all year (originally supposed to be in astana in May) and as far i know still havent one.

 

Yeah anyway so rankings, I will also predict this but I might be a bit light on detail and ill do it in parts depending on which divisions are starting when.
