Constitutions and By-laws
Boxing is a sport that has worldwide popularity at both the amateur and professional levels. However, accurate historical records are sorely lacking. It is intended that through the IBRO an accurate collection, organization and dissemination of information about the sport will occur.
The Purposes of IBRO
- To establish an accurate history of boxing by compiling complete and accurate boxing records
- To provide a vehicle for individuals interested in boxing research
- To communicate these interests and facilitate their research
- To coordinate research activities and provide a means of meeting others who share these specialized interests
The IBRO publishes four journals per year containing career records and fight information for champions, contenders, and other fighters of interest as well as articles and rare facts and figures related to boxing.
Back issues of IBRO Journals/newsletters are sold only to members. The newsletters/Journals are made up of individual articles, fighter career records, additions and corrections to existing records, statistics, microfilm newsclips, etc.
