The Congress is due to take place in Frankfurt on November 24 and 25 and, in addition to the vote for President, will see elections held for the vice-presidency and places on the World Boxing Executive Board.

Chairs of the Committees for Sport and Competition, Medical and Anti-Doping and Finance and Audit will also be decided.

The United States' Seignolle is running for the leadership role after resigning from the IBA Board of Directors in May this year.

She is experienced in the finance industry and was one of 10 independent directors elected to the IBA Board at its extraordinary Congress in Istanbul in May 2022.

Seignolle was also on the IBA's Finance Committee before stepping down during the Men's World Championships in Tashkent.

She currently serves as director and treasurer of USA Boxing, which was the first national governing body to resign from the IBA to join World Boxing.

She is challenging founding director of World Boxing van der Vorst who served as President of the Dutch Boxing Federation from 2014 to 2023 and previously unsuccessfully challenged Umar Kremlev for the IBA's top job.

If successful, Seignolle would be the first female President of an international boxing federation after also serving as athlete director of the New York Metro Local Boxing Committee.

"Holding open, fair and transparent elections is a central element of World Boxing's commitment to operating to the highest standards of governance," said World Boxing secretary general Simon Toulson.

"The call for candidates has received an excellent response from members and it is a very positive sign to see that all of the major office bearing positions within the organisation will be fairly contested by a diverse range of nominees."

Tomas Cianca Batista of Panama and Australian Dinah Glykidis are two of nine candidates vying for three vice-president vacancies.  

They are joined by the Czech Republic's Markéta Vochoska Haindlová, Briton Matt Holt, American Tyson Lee, Karin Mattsson of Sweden, Canada's Ryan O'Shea, Dhany Reyes of Honduras and Mattsson's compatriot Per Axel Sjoholm.

They are all also looking for a spot on the Executive Board in competition with six others for four places.

Australia's Wayne Rose and Hernan Salvo of Argentina are the two candidates for Sport and Competition Committee chair while Rose's countrywoman Julia Felton is the sole applicant for the Finance and Audit Committee position.

A group of six are then competing for Medical and Anti-Doping Committee chair.

One of those is the third American running for a position at the Congress in Dr Armando Sanchez who has been a member of USA Boxing for the past 29 years, with the last decade seeing him serve as Medical Committee chair.

He has also been team or lead physician for the organisation at several events including the re-arranged 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, the Pan American Games and continental championships.

"USA Boxing is proud to have three candidates running for leadership positions within World Boxing," USA Boxing executive director Mike McAtee.

"USA Boxing was the first National Federation to be approved by World Boxing and has worked side-by-side with our member NF as we focus on developing Olympic-style boxing from the grassroots, national, international and Olympic level. 

"Elise, Tyson and Dr Armando possess the perfect combination of skills to work collaboratively with other federations to develop Olympic-style boxing around the world as boxing continues to be part of the Olympic Games in LA 2028, Brisbane in 2032 and beyond."

World Boxing has gone through a tumultuous start-up period as it battles with the IBA to be boxing's primary governing body, and the latter has sprung a trap that could spell further trouble.

Shortly after World Boxing was established this year, the IBA trademarked the name "World Boxing" with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property. 

The expelled Olympic body IBA has made no mention of taking legal action but states that it "expects a public apology" for the trademark infringement and insisted that all mentions of "World Boxing" be removed by October 26.

Now that the deadline has passed, insidethegames has contacted the IBA to ascertain what is next in the saga.
