Boris van der Vorst has confirmed he will not seek a second term as President of World Boxing, stepping away at the end of a turbulent spell for the newly formed governing body. In a letter sent to member federations on Thursday, van der Vorst admitted the role had been ‘relentless’ since he helped establish World Boxing as an Olympic-recognized federation in the wake of the International Boxing Association’s collapse. Legacy and departureDespite the controversies, van der Vorst was keen to highlight the positives in his farewell message. I have concluded that I will not commit to another term,” van der Vorst told colleagues.
