On the agenda for this year’s convention are key presentations, a medical seminar, world rankings open sessions, mandatory fights, seminars for ring officials, judges and referees, a WBC Cares visit and workshops.
Imadu, who is the only Nigerian boxing promoter/administrator attending this year’s event, told Germany’s number 1 sports media outlet “bild.de” that the convention is imperative to him as a leading boxing Promoter in Africa.
“The Yucateco boxing promotions, which I happen to be the founder, is currently engaged in various boxing developmental projects across Africa, and key conversations from the WBC Convention will further aid our insights and approach to our programs going forward, so it feels good to be here”.
