During the meeting the group looked back on the work done through the Coaches’ Development Programme since 2010, before addressing new rules implemented after the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and strategies to consolidate and grow the number of certified coaches around the world.

This included a fresh look at their career pathways that will be presented to the Commissions in India.

A change in the rules was unanimously approved by AIBA's Executive Committee in December in a bid to improve the running of competitions.

New rules include the use of all five judges to determine the winner of each contest - instead of three - and the deployment of the Swiss Timing electronic system to randomly select officials before bouts, along with the removal of the Draw Commission.

These changes follow the governing body suspending all 36 referees and judges used at the Rio 2016 Olympics, pending an investigation into judging controversies at the Games.

To give the judges the optimal conditions to score a match, they will now also be placed on all four sides of the ring, rather than three.

"These discussions reflected the singular importance of the role played by coaches in a boxer’s career, making them an important focus for AIBA’s educational programmes over the coming Olympic Cycle towards Tokyo 2020," said Adam Kusior, chair of the Coaches Commission. 

The New Delhi meetings will take place on February 27 and 28.
