The Indian Boxing Federation has been given a deadline of Dec. 4 by world governing body AIBA to organize fresh elections as it seeks to return from a suspension imposed last year. Sebastien Gillot, communications director for AIBA, told the Associated Press by email on Wednesday that the Indian body had been given "a one-month extension to arrange the elections" after an initial deadline of Nov. 4, according to AP. The IBF was suspended in December last year for not following proper election procedures. It was also no longer recognized by India's sports ministry for the same reason, and for failing to adhere to age and tenure restrictions of a government sports code. Gillot said "AIBA is satisfied with the progress" shown by the IBF in its effort to hold elections. -- SPA 21:10 LOCAL TIME 18:10 GMT تغريد
