Boxing Federation speaks out about President Liu Xiubao's absence

President Liu Xiubao has been absent for the past half year.

The hot topic of the meeting was not only the competition plans, but also the situation related to Mr. Luu Tu Bao - President of the Vietnam Boxing Federation, who has been absent from Vietnam for more than half a year.

The Executive Committee confirmed that Mr. Liu Xiu Bao left Vietnam in February 2025 to take care of family matters in the United States and has not returned yet. This absence has sparked much speculation, with some even claiming that Mr. Bao is involved in international criminal organizations.

However, the Vietnam Boxing Federation confirmed that it has not received any official documents from domestic or international authorities regarding the above allegations. Mr. Bao's personal records and criminal record were confirmed by competent authorities before joining the Executive Committee for the second term.

To ensure the operation of the Federation, the conference unanimously authorized Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung - Vice President and General Secretary to run all operations. The authorization period will last until the end of March 2026, or until an official decision is made by Mr. Bao. Mr. Hung was also identified as the sole spokesperson for the Vietnam Boxing Federation during this period.

Vietnam Boxing Federation emphasizes:

All activities of the Federation, including organizing domestic and international tournaments, continue normally in accordance with the regulations.
The personal affairs of a Federation member, if any, are completely separate and he shall be solely responsible before the law.
In case there is an official conclusion from the authorities that Mr. Liu Xiu Bao violated the law, the Executive Committee will organize a conference to request permission to hold an extraordinary congress to elect a new Chairman, ensuring continuity in leadership and maintaining operating funds until the end of the term.

In parallel with handling personnel issues, the Federation is still focusing on professional work. After two successful tournaments in Dak Lak and Ninh Binh, the remaining key event of the year is the 2025 National Boxing Championship in Ho Chi Minh City (October 2-12), sponsored by Mr. Luu Tu Bao himself with socialized resources. This is considered a milestone in preparing forces for the 2026 National Sports Festival and the 33rd SEA Games.

The Vietnam Football Federation affirms that it will continue to operate all activities in accordance with the principles and regulations approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs , and will fully report to the Department of Sports and Physical Training, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and relevant agencies.

Would you like me to write a 900-word commentary version, delving deeper into the impact of Mr. Bao's absence on the Vietnamese boxing system and the unknowns behind it, or keep the news as concise as above?
