What is the reputation of the International Boxing Association (IBA)
I recently found out that my father is friends with Dean Chance, the president and founder of the IBA, and I was just wondering if you guys had any information about it and if it is legit or not. Thank you

Have you asked your father? Are you a boxing fan yourself? It's a strange question if you don't mind me saying.

I'm not a huge boxing fan myself, that is why i came here looking for some input and knowledge. has anyone heard of the IBA? its wiki page says it is a stepping stone sanctioning body? any thoughts? i would really appreciate it
Re: What is the reputation of the International Boxing Association (IBA)
I've honestly never heard of it. But there are so many different sanctioning bodies that it would be almost impossible to know about all of them. It's one of the major problems with the sport.

thank you. i went to the website and it has pictures of pacquiao, hatton, mayweather, hopkins, etc training in there ( i guess he also has a big time gym also in LV). i am asking because one of my friends wants to become a boxing promoter and i am trying to get him to have a meeting with chance to get some connections and what not

It just seems like a one of a million type sanctioning body from what I can tell. Hopefully someone else can tell you more about it, but I have no idea. You could always email them, but I suspect they might just send you a bunch of propaganda rather than explain where exactly they sit in the boxing world.
Unless your friend is a shady, duplicitous, ruthless backing-stabbing son of a bitch I'd suggest he find a different line of work :p

I said one of a million, as in there are many other sanctioning bodies that play the same role. I assume by looking at their website and wiki page that it's a relatively small-time player in the boxing world. However, it could quite rationally be argued that these groups play important roles in exposing prospects and helping to legitimize them as contenders as they climb the ranks.

You trying to raise awareness or something? Posting top fighters and all makes it just too obvious.
