700 championship
matches had been granted sanctions since we founded Pan Asian Boxing Association,
PABA, 15 years ago in 1995 to achieve our common goal equality and to reform main
stream of professional boxing activities in those regions- Central Asia, Oceania,
Pan Pacific, Eurasia and Southeast inclusive Far East nations.
98 boxing promoters/productions in the world had staged up PABA championship
matches for the honor of their contenders while 17 promoters are still in active
with us.
50 countries'
contestants participated in the 700 PABA championship matches have performed
their utmost ability and power for our credibility which is the most important
accomplishment to keep our stand as the best regional sanctioning body in the
world.
33 countries' national Commissions and promoters have worked together with
us our championship matches for the development of professional boxing industry
in those regions.
22 PABA champions
have eventually been crowned as WBA world champions in their respective division
as the listed below while we assisted 37 PABA champions' challenge to the WBA
world title;

**first PABA Heavyweight champion Oleg
Maskaev became WBC champion |
As a pioneer of regional sanctioning entity we, the PABA, have adopted new regulations/policies
such as;
| |
| - |
activating Interim championship match when a champion fails to comply with
his obligation of minimum numbers of defense bout, |
| - |
creating Super Championship title in order to accelerate our campaign and
giving more opportunities to eligible contenders who wish to participate in PABA
title match, |
| - |
expanding Junior championship title bout to give opportunity to 8-rounder
boxers to fight under the PABA's banner. |
|
Fifteen years ago few member of world boxing community had paid their attention
to the born of this Non-for-Profit sanctioning body PABA.
Neither member predicted ever that the PABA could campaign such a great number
of title matches in the short period in the global market nor media foresaw the
PABA could produce topnotch WBA world champions from the countries - Thailand,
Mongolia, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Russia
throughout the past decade.
Achievement does not come through wishing for it. It comes from hard work and
positive reformation rooted in traditional values and consensus. |
