Mr. Daniel Z. Hirlau has been a successful WKF manager for several years and has done an outstanding job as World President of the Boxing Division in a very short time.

Our intention was to assist and relieve the previous Hungarian President, Mr. Istvan Rozman, of his excessive responsibilities.

He will continue his work as World President of the WKF Professional Division and in the IRC.
