Mr. Wayne Rose – “The Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament is the practical exam of our AIBA 3-star R&J Course”

Australia’s Mr. Wayne Rose is one of the R&J Evaluators together with AIBA Administrator Mr. Terry Smith in the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament in Bangkok where an AIBA 3-star Referee & Judge Course is holding parallel with the boxing competition.
The Australian official worked in several boxing events as ITO and following his R&J experiences he is working at the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament in Bangkok as an Referee & Judge Instructor.
“The level of the organization is world class in the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament in Bangkok. Used to be the event was named as King’s Cup and it was well-known in the boxing world. As a Referee & Judge I have worked in the King’s Cup in the past and it was great to return to Thailand’s capital city.
Russia, Cuba and all of the strongest countries participated here in Bangkok in the past but currently these top nations were not able to join to the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament. Cuba has been preparing to the upcoming Central American & Caribbean Games and the date is seriously near to this event.
Among the developing boxing nations Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Nepal are participating here in Bangkok with their teams and these countries showed strong potential for me. Diversity in our sport is very important in the middle of the Olympic cycle.
The current AIBA 3-star Referee & Judge Course supports our future boxing life to make strong and fair competitions. We had written examinations in English, Arabic and Russian languages one day before the start of the competition.
Their practical exam is the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament itself and after the preliminaries and quarter-finals we could conclude already a few things. The referees are in different level and not all of them will be passed their exams. We have to select the best R&Js for the future events,” said Mr. Wayne Rose in the Huamark Indoor Stadium.
