The offices of the International Boxing Association (AIBA) have re-opened in Lausanne today with a Swiss courts’ judgement on who should run the organisation during the next three months not expected to be made until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

AIBA President C K Wu claims he has retained control of the world governing body but his rivals dispute this and insist they have power.

The Interim Management Committee (IMC) was set up last week after 13 out of 15 members of AIBA's Executive Committee attempted a vote of no confidence against Wu during a meeting in Moscow.

Yesterday, members of the IMC confirmed their intention to go to the Swiss courts today to argue that they should run the organisation until October, when an Extraordinary General Assembly is expected to take place to decide Wu’s fate.

A spokesman for the IMC has told insidethegames that it could be the morning of Friday (August 4) before a decision is made. 

Wu was today on site at AIBA's offices, which had been closed for a week, on the Lausanne Maison du Sport International site.

He told Agence France-Presse (AFP) both he and the staff are back at work with the main focus being to continue preparations for the 2017 AIBA Men's World Boxing Championships, scheduled to be held in German city Hamburg from August 25 to September 2.

The 70-year-old Taiwanese added that he had nothing to fear from the courts.

"We respect the Swiss justice system and we are waiting with confidence for the decision, because there is only one truth," Wu told AFP.

Wu, also a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board, rejected the contents of a letter sent to him by Italy's Franco Falcinelli, an AIBA vice-president and President of the European Boxing Confederation.

Falcinelli announced himself as chairman of the IMC.

Other officials listed as members of the Committee are Canada's Pat Fiacco, Wales' Terry Smith, Morocco's Mohamed Moustahene and Cuba's Alberto Puig De La Barca.

Falcinelli claimed that the Executive Committee approved the formation of the interim group at the meeting in Moscow and are responsible for running the AIBA headquarters until October.

They have also sent a letter to all National Federations claiming they need a "clean start"... to "protect the future of our sport and organisation".

They dispute Wu's claim that he is a "volunteer" and accuse him of "travelling around the world in lavish personal style" and "collecting substantial funds from AIBA for personal use in his Taipei office".

Wu claims AIBA has over $10 million (£7.6 million/€8.4 million) in the bank and no debt.

But Fiacco believes that is only the case when taking into account future revenue from the IOC and from host cities of upcoming World Championships.
