Delegates heard the idea at the AIBA Asian Continental Forum, which took place today here in Amman.

Interim AIBA President Mohamed Moustahsane said the new event could be similar to the World Series of Boxing (WSB), which featured teams contesting home and away fixtures around the world.

Only male boxers competed, however, and no season has been held since 2018.

In July of last year, it was announced that the WSB was "inactive" and would remain that way unless significant investment could be found.

"We could have team events with male and female boxers," Moustahsane said here.

"This is to increase the number of female boxers and given the importance of gender equality.

"The WSB was teams but it was not mixed."

AIBA will have no involvement at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics where five female weight divisions will be contested for the first time.

The governing body was stripped of its Olympic status in June over issues including governance, finances, refereeing and judging.

Moustahsane said standardising the AIBA competition schedule was an important goal.

"Sometimes we have two or three tournaments at the same time, or a period where we don't have tournaments," he said.

"We need a standardised international schedule for tournaments, so all boxers around the world can plan their competitions."

It has already been confirmed that the Boxing World Cup will return in November following a 12-year absence.

Russia has been awarded the event which will be held to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

Nizhny Novgorod was initially earmarked as host but ambitious plans could now see the event take place in 10 Russian cities before a final in Moscow.

Sixteen teams are due to take part and the prize purse is likely to be seven figures.

The event was revived following a proposal from Umar Kremlev, the secretary general of the Russian Boxing Federation.
