The Ukrainian Boxing Federation (FBU) has announced that it is working on creating a new World Amateur Boxing Organization alongside former undisputed world heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and the Ready To Fight company.

"The team of the Ukrainian Boxing Federation, together with the best boxer of our time, Oleksandr Usyk, and the company Ready to Fight, is working on creating a new World Amateur Boxing Organization," said an FBU post on social media.

The FBU is part of the IBA, headed by Russian Umar Kremlev. In January, there was news about the Ukrainian Federation beginning negotiations for cooperation with World Boxing.

On July 26, the Ukrainian Boxing Association was established in Lviv, which will apply for membership in World Boxing.
