The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (formerly Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines) (ABAP) is the governing body of amateur boxing in the Philippines.

Objectives

The ABAP's current goal is for the country to win its first ever Olympic gold medal in boxing, to be recognized as one of the world's boxing powers as well as to improve the image of the Philippines abroad. With this purpose, it has been conducting information campaigns among local government units who are interested in amateur boxing and wish to organize boxing tournaments. The organization also has an ongoing accreditation campaign for young referees, with workshops and examinations being administered countrywide.[1]

History

Former ABAP logo (1977-2013)

On May 30, 2013, ABAP held its first general assembly and organizational elections at the Quezon City Sports Club. ABAP also renamed itself and became the "Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines". The name change was mandated by the International Boxing Association, which dropped the word "amateur" in all organizations under its aegis.[2]
