Japan Boxing Federation (日本ボクシング連盟, Nihon Bokushingu Renmei), also known as the Japan Amateur Boxing Federation (JABF), is the national governing body for amateur boxing in Japan. The federation organizes national tournaments and represents Japanese amateur boxing in international competitions. Its headquarters are located in Shinjuku, Tokyo.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

The Japan Boxing Federation was established in 1926 to oversee and promote amateur boxing in Japan. After the Second World War, the organization supported the reintroduction of boxing at schools and universities, contributing to the sport’s postwar recovery. In 1952, Japan sent its first boxing team to the Helsinki Olympics, marking the country’s debut in Olympic boxing.[2]

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the federation expanded its activities by organizing national championships and forming regional associations. It has continued to work with the Japanese Olympic Committee to align domestic boxing with international standards.[3][4]

In 2018, the federation underwent administrative reforms to address governance concerns and improve transparency. A new leadership structure was introduced following these changes.[5]

The current president of the Japan Boxing Federation is Tatsuya Nakama (中間達也).[6]
