The IBA R&J’s Course was started by the President of the EBA Franco Falcinelli who, on behalf of the IBA President Umar Kremlev and the EUBC President Ioannis Filippatos, greeted all the participants and introduced the IBA Instructor Mrs Martina Sadie Duffy who well technically directed the Course from 8 to 13 December. The EUBC, the European Boxing Academy and the Italian Boxing Federation have collaborated effectively to carry out the Course during the Italian Men’s and Women’s Elite Championships to also facilitate practical tests.

Each participant was able to use their skills by refereeing five fights and acting as a judge in 10 matches. The Italian Manager of RR/JJes Mr Alessandro Renzini collaborated very well with Mrs Duffy. The Course will be closed in the presence of EUBC President Ioannis Filippatos
