New World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Turkey representative Ferdi Kali was
born in February of 1982 in Kigi,
Turkey. The following is a quick
interview, intoducing him as a
valuable part of the WBF team.
Q: What is your background and
experience in boxing?
A: My life in boxing began in 2014
when my son started boxing as an
amateur. In 2020 I started working
as a promoter and manager, along
with my partner Volkan Dogan.
Q:
Appointed as WBF Representative for
Turkey, how do you see the sport in
Turkey at the moment?
A:
My assesment of professional boxing
in Turkey at the moment is rather
negative, as many promoters in
Turkey take advantage of the
situations and literally take money
out of the boxers pockets.
I
would like to get the World Boxjng
Federation off to a good start in
Turkey, and bring boxing to a higher
level and give it a good reputation
in Turkey.
Q:
How do you hope to develop the WBF´s
presence in Turkey?
A:
The WBF events we do in Turkey will
be published in all media, and the
proceeds should be donated to
various charities. Through events
like this, with honest intentions,
boxing in Turkey will get a positive
reputation, which will also reflect
positively on the WBF.
Q:
How do you see the WBF develop
world-wide in the years to come?
A:
The WBF is one of the biggest
organizations, and in my opinion it
will only get stronger and stronger.
Q:
Do you have a message to Turkish
promoters and boxers, whom you hope
to work with in the years to come?
A:
It has noe become known in Turkey
that I am the new WBF representative
for Turkey, and many promoters and
managers have already contacted me
and are impatiently waiting for us
to come to Turkey.
Our first plan is a show in Istanbul
with title fights involving top
boxers, in order to advance the WBF
in Turkey.
Q:
Anything else?
A:
I am going to represent the WBF with
pride. I want to thank Mr. Christian
Roesen, the WBF executive Director,
who gracefully handed this task over
to me. I will let the WBF flourish
in Turkey, and not disappoint.
