Following a brief trial period the International Boxing Association has approved title fights to be contested over a distance of ten rounds. The new ten round distance has received the blessing of A.B.C. President Tim Lueckenhoff and will include our current 'Continental' and "America's' title classification as well as our soon to be announced 'Asia & Pacific Region' and 'Europe & Africa' titles. The choice of staging either a ten round title fight or a twelve round title fight shall be the choice of the promoter of a sanctioned IBA event. World title fights will continue to be
contested over twelve championship rounds.
