“Previously I wanted to rest because I felt very tired as the president of the Vietnam Boxing Federation,” Mr. Tran Minh Tien said at the press conference before the Boxing Championship of the Nation's strong teams 2022. “But after I said I wanted to rest, everyone offered to continue to stay and work. That helped me have more motivation to dedicate.”
In the first term, the Vietnam Boxing Federation had a good new arbitration class. These are the people who are directly trained and certified by the International Boxing Federation (AIBA). Currently Vietnam has a total of 14 worldwide referees.
“With a new team of boxing arbitration, in the past 3 years, the matches, boxing tournaments of Vietnam have not been negatively. Only a few matches have controversial results, but after reviewing, we conclude that this is only a comment. I affirm that the Vietnamese boxing arbitration is not negative,” Mr. Tran Minh Tien said.
In addition to organizing tournaments and training the new generation of arbitration, another important task of the Vietnam Boxing Federation has been completed in the first term is to have a athlete to attend the Olympic Games. Those are two boxers Nguyen Van Duong and Nguyen Thi Tam in the last Tokyo Olympics.
Ahead of the 2nd term of the Vietnam Boxing Federation, Mr. Tran Minh Tien said he would plan to work 1-2 years, so that the system was stable and thought about resting. “I hope to be able to find someone who has enough enthusiasm to replace me, help Boxing Vietnam go up. Hope everyone supports,” said the President of the Vietnam Boxing Federation.
