Another year has flown by and another bumper year for the World Boxing Federation in respect of number of fights and ventures into new countries. As we move towards Christmas and 2018 it’s a time to reflect not only on boxing but on family and life in general.

Nothing is more important than family and spending quality time with one’s loved ones. Often as boxing administrators we find ourselves on the move all the time often far away from our family and this is a time for being at home and taking stock of one’s life.

Although I have one more shows this year, in Swakopmund, Namibia on December 29, even I as President will find time to spend New Year’s eve at home with my family. A barbecue, a few beers or maybe even a whiskey or two – but certainly I’m not answering any boxing calls on New Year’s eve.

There are so many people connected to the WBF who deserve to be praised and thanked, so rather than committing the cardinal sin of carelessly omitting anything, I would like to collectively thank the entire team for their tireless efforts, their incredible dedication, their unwavering commitment, but above all the unique loyalty shown to one another in the WBF team.

To the WBF representatives around the world who secure title fights in their regions, to the promoters around the world who work with us, to the fighters who participate in WBF title fights, to the champions who conduct themselves in such a professional manner, to the various committees of the WBF who add knowledge and who give such sound advice, to our website team, to our secretary – a massive thank you from me, the WBF is indebted to you for all your efforts.

But most important is the contribution of all the family members connected with the previously mentioned WBF personnel. It is all of you who allow us the time and freedom to pursue our passion – that is to grow and develop the WBF into a classy, professional world sanctioning body which places integrity and honesty above all else.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and may 2018 be blessed with good health, success and love.

Until next time, keep boxing.

Howard Goldberg

PRESIDENT: World Boxing Federation
