1. General
Boxers will always be licensed by the CISBB -Affiliated Federation of the country in which the boxer is living, provided there is such a Federation. Exceptions are possible only with the written authorization of that Federation.
No CISBB-Affiliated Federation will license a boxer nor an official who has been licensed before by another CISBB-Affiliated Federation or who is living in another country without the written authorization of that Federation.
No CISBB-Affiliated Federation will allow a boxer nor an official to take part in a contest (in their home country or abroad) that does not fulfil the medical or federal requirements or is not under supervision of an CISBB-Affiliated Federation, provided there is one in the country where the contest is scheduled to take place.
