813 championship
matches had been granted sanctions since we founded Pan Asian Boxing Association, PABA, 16 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.
102 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.
56 countries' contestants participated in 813 PABA championship matches had 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.
34 countries' national Commissions/Federations have been working together with us our championship matches for the development of professional boxing industry in those regions.
24 PABA champions have eventually been crowned as WBA world champions in their respective division as the listed below while we assisted 47 PABA champions' challenge to the WBA world title;

**first PABA Heavyweight champion Oleg
Maskaev became WBC champion |
As the pioneer of regional sanctioning entity we, the PABA, have adopted new regulations and 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. |
|
Seventeen years ago few member of world boxing community had paid their attention to emergent of this Non-for-Profit sanctioning body- PABA.
Neither boxing insider predicted ever that the PABA could campaign such a great number of title matches in the short period in the global market nor member foresaw the PABA could produce topnotch WBA world champions from- 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. |
