According to IRNA, the registration period for the candidates for the post of President of the Boxing Federation has started on the 3rd of October and will last for 10 working days.
So far, the current president, Hossein Thori, and the former vice-president of the Boxing Federation, Ruhollah Hosseini, who has won several Asian medals, have registered to run in the election.
It is rumored that several other members of the boxing family will register to attend, but have little chance of succeeding.
In the previous term, Thori and Hosseini registered to run for the presidency, and Thori eventually became the helm of the Olympic federation for four years.
