    Well if lets say K2 sign up an AM boxer and they lose quite often but start getting gift decisions somehow, this will question Klits standing as that authority figure. Its happened in soccer before, it can happen in boxing if a promoter becomes head of AIBA.

    If K2 sign the amateur surely Klitschkos interest becomes just through k2 and and aiba doesn't matter as the boxer is now pro?

    Do Ams have no association with promotions at all? Like, not even as sponsors. Its kinda like tieing up under-age football kids to pre-contracts by buying them houses, and giving their parents cars and **** like that.

    Dont know if it happens like that in boxing, but Wlad using his ties to AIBA to pick up talent for the pro ranks, is a likely scenario.

    As far as I'm aware, no, an amateur in England may be with team GB and then go pro with whoever they choose

    Wlad was at Hamburg this yr for the final and so was David Haye. If anything it's a smart move for owners of boxing promotional companies to spot the upcoming talent in the ams
