NBF Strengthens Ties With WBC On Boxing Development At 64th Annual Convention In Acapulco, Mexico
The Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF) has strengthened her relationship with the World Boxing Council (WBC) in boxing development and advancement, with a visible presence at the ongoing 64th Annual WBC Convention, holding from November 8 to November 13, 2026, at the Palacio Mundo Imperial, Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico.
Hon. Omonlei Yakubu Imadu, Founder of the Yucateco Initiatives, discussed grassroots boxing development commitment in Africa with the WBC Amateur Programs.
The discussion earned Nigeria a historic spotlight among other African countries for the scheduled Inter-Continental Green Belt Challenge Tournament slated for September / October 2027, where Team Africa will face other Continental teams.
The tournament will provide opportunity for grassroots boxers to compete, while the programme promotes universal unity and advocacy for climate change support.
Pro Boxing Ratings, Athletes Safety, Fight Integrity, and Boxers Welfare through initiatives like WBC Cares and WBC BoxMed were cogent discussions within the convention.
The NBF leadership reaffirmed its continuous commitment and dedication to boxing development in Nigeria and structured governance, and to building strong international partnerships for the benefit of Nigerian boxers from grassroots to elite level and in their professional career.
