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

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
