The suspended Indian Boxing Federation will not have any representation in the upcoming IOA elections after the IOC and the AIBA instructed that no official from the IBF be allowed to cast a vote in the February 9 polls.
IBF President Abhishek Matoria, senior vice-President Bhupinder Singh and Manipur Boxing Association Secretary General Khoibi Salam were listed in the electoral college for the IOA polls.
But the trio will not be allowed to cast a vote in the elections now.
