The Eurasia Pacific Boxing Council also known as EPBC is an organisation for professional boxing in the Central Asia, Oceania, Pan Pacific, Eurasia and Southeast and Far East nations. It was formed in 2014 and is headquartered in Seoul[1]
WBC Affiliations
In 2016, WBC released an open letter, stating the following:[2]
"Eurasia Pacific Boxing Council is not a WBC Federation. It is only a committee affiliated with the WBC, ..."
"Any request for a new federation or commission to affiliate to the WBC is a matter that must be addressed by the WBC Board of Governors in the annual conventions of the WBC."
This open letter came about due to MBC claimed that they have secured affiliation with WBC.[3] However WBC shot the affiliation down and stated that MBC only has affiliation with EPBC and not WBC.[4]
