Our vision, mission and values as the Austrian Boxing Federation.
The Austrian Boxing Federation (ÖBV) considers it its highest priority to promote boxing in Austria and to uphold and strengthen its reputation and status in the public eye. A key component in this is ensuring high ethical standards within and around the sport of boxing, as well as spreading the Olympic spirit as one of the founding sports of the Olympic Games.
At the center of our activities lies a commitment to honest and performance-oriented practice of Olympic boxing, along with the continuous training, development and encouragement of talents within the federation.
The ÖBV fully supports the anti-doping regulations, which are binding for all our members. We are committed to the practice and preservation of clean sport.
Boxers are registered and supported in their respective clubs. Local coaches work together with the national coach to ensure continuous development of the athletes. Ongoing assessments help identify individual athletic potential and adapt training for steady improvement in performance.
Beyond the local clubs, we create additional conditions that facilitate regular training and competitive opportunities. Only through constant competition in a sporting environment against higher-class boxers is it possible to develop an athlete’s full potential.
To increase acceptance and spread of boxing in the public sphere, we engage in targeted media work. The achievements of athletes and medalists are highlighted through various print and TV media, as well as social media channels. Targeted projects for youth development are an essential part of our efforts.
Fitness and recreational boxing receive special attention within the federation. We aim to promote boxing in all its diversity and make it accessible to everyone – from beginners to professionals, from casual athletes to Olympic contenders.
Guided by a spirit of sportsmanship, mutual respect, and tolerance towards our fellow athletes, we continuously work on the development of Austrian boxing. Together with our athletes, we strive for higher goals, such as successful participation in European and World Championships, as well as the Olympic Games.
We aim to guide our athletes appropriately to major sporting events with the goal of winning medals. We strive to provide financial support whenever possible so that the ÖBV can offer performance bonuses at major events for top athletes and emerging talents.
In order to raise awareness of doping prevention, we fully endorse the applicable anti-doping regulations. The ÖBV is committed to practicing and safeguarding clean sport. In cooperation with NADA Austria, we conduct ongoing training sessions and emphasize the dangers and legal aspects associated with doping.
