The African Boxing Union (ABU) has announced the appointment of new members to the Western Region Title Committee.
Nigeria’s David Ikpaibi has been named the new chairman of the committee, following the dismissal of Remi Aboderin.
Ikpaibi will lead a newly formed committee, as confirmed in a statement released by the ABU on Monday, April 14, 2025.
“Hello, ABU members and all members of the boxing fraternity. Hopefully, you are all in good health. Please take note that, as earlier stated in the last press release, the following individuals have been appointed to the new ABU Western Region Title Committee (WABU),” the statement read.
In addition to Ikpaibi, three other members have been appointed to support the work of the committee: Jean-Paul Dago (Côte d’Ivoire), Dr. Kosovo Adote (Togo), and Patrick Johnson (Ghana).
The newly appointed members have been tasked with assisting the chairman in the effective administration of WABU’s activities.
Remi Aboderin, along with other WABU members, was dismissed following corruption allegations involving financial misappropriation and the exploitation of boxers and promoters.
