You are leading one of the main directions of our sport, and you should be dedicated to strict AIBA rules and never violate it. The strongest should win. If you became AIBA R&J, you defend all athletes and represent the honesty, not one single country. Should I hear about some violation, we will exclude R&J for a life-time. Today we have to fight for total honesty, we will farewell to all who are not in our team. We will also not allow anyone accuse our R&Js in misjudging. We are reforming R&J and scoring system. The new uniform for R&J will be presented. We will create courses on each national language,' AIBA President claimed.

We have already implemented open scoring, bout review, scoring system will be updated soon. Millions of kids are dreaming to become a champion. You are judging these kids, it is a huge responsibility. You are our best referees and judges, you work with the best athletes. All is in your hand. We will show zero tolerance, if someone judging not fairly. One mistake can ruin a whole career. We trust you and you can trust us. We have started to write a new chapter of our history,' he said.
