Interview with ASBC EC member Mr. Walid Jarrar

ASBC Executive Committee member Mr. Walid Jarrar is the Chairman of the ASBC Competition Commission and he was the Supervisor of the Ulaanbaatar Box Cup one week ago. Mr. Walid Jarrar travelled to Bangkok to the ASBC Competition Commission Meeting to a short visit and led the negotiations in the Ebina House Hotel while he replied to ASBC’s questions regarding boxing in Asia and in Jordan.
“I believe that the ASBC Competition Commission is an extension of the Technical Rules therefore all members should understand those objectives and must be updated themselves with the new changes. I think the ASBC Competition Commission Meeting was fruitful and all of the participants were active during the negotiations.
Boxing in Asia is No.2 among the continents in all aspects but many countries are not taking part in the ASBC Asian Championships due to lack of enough financial background. We have to involve them to all future events to send at least one or two boxers to the continental and worldwide events.
Jordan has got new national federation in boxing, our Presidential election was held this May. We held our first Executive Committee Meeting also in May short after the elections to discuss the main topics of our future.
The new staffs in Jordan have not got any experiences in boxing therefore I would like to support them with my advices. I am EC member in my Federation and also EC member in the Asian Boxing Confederation therefore I do not want to be a President in Jordan, I am only always keeping my Federation updated with the new rules and changes.
Jordan will be hosting its National Boxing Championships in each age groups in the end of this month and we will have a meeting regarding this issue next Sunday. I believe our National Olympic Committee should help us in this issue and also participating in the upcoming ASBC Asian Championships.
I have been Supervisor in the Ulaanbaatar Box Cup in Mongolia one week ago where the level of the event was excellent. Three of our youth boxers injured before the start of the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships and we were not in the position to send athletes to Bangkok but surely we will be taking part in the ASBC Asian Confederation Junior Boxing Championships in the Philippines,” said Mr. Walid Jarrar short after his visit in Bangkok.
