Bulgarian Boxing Federation (BBF) President Krasimir Ininski Sunday told BTA he expected Bulgaria to become a member of World Boxing "quite soon". 
 
Talking about the 76th Strandja International Boxing Tournament which ended in Sofia on Sunday, Ininski said he was satisfied, having seen five Bulgarian finalists. The tournament was organized by BBF.

"I will not single out any of the [Bulgarian] boxers, they all performed admirably. Some made mistakes, but we will correct them and move forward," Ininski said. There is the Women's World Boxing Championships in Nis on March 8-17, and the men have upcoming international tournaments, "but our goal is the Olympics", he added.
