Dear sports friends,

Since March 1st, 2024, a new WKF Division Worldwide began work.

By athletes

for athletes

 

The aim is not to compete with existing associations, but rather to complement them with significantly less bureaucracy and fewer annoying, outdated regulations.

In collaboration with all of our 145 + WKF country presidents with the new WKF department “BOXING/BKFC”, we are also internationally networked on 6 continents in over 145 countries.

The Hungarian expert Daniel Z. HIRLAU became world president of the new department since March 1st, 2024.

Daniel Z. HIRLAU magyar szakértőt nevezték ki az új tanszék világelnökévé 2024. március 1-jétől.

From now on, ALL BOXERS and BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTERS – women and men – can use our free offer and apply for inclusion in the BOXING World rankings via the FIGHTER PROFILE.

Free and non-bureaucratic!

The international WKF license applies to all boxers!

For PROFI boxers, a corresponding license and registration in BOXREC is mandatory! We would be happy to help you with this too.

For example:  WKF AUSTRIA has already started nominating a national team – male and female – for amateur boxing in Cartagena, Colombia in October 2026. With the official partner, serious sanctioned by “Austria Boxing Union” !

All registrations and requests should be sent directly to the BOXING head office, Mr. Daniel Z. Hirlau,
