Wu Ching-kuo will stand for a second four-year term as president of amateur boxing's governing body.

The Taiwanese declared his intention to run Wednesday in a letter to AIBA's membership of almost 200 national federations.

Wu took office in 2006 by defeating longtime incumbent Anwar Chowdhry from Pakistan, who was later barred for alleged financial corruption.

Rival candidates can be nominated up to 30 days before the AIBA Congress opens Nov. 1 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where the poll will be held.

Candidates must have served a full four-year term on the ruling executive and be supported by their national federation and at least 20 other AIBA members.
