SLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani boxing authorities say former amateur boxing chief Anwar Chowdhry has died at 87.
Pakistan Boxing Federation spokesman said Chowdhry died of a heart attack in the southern port city of Karachi.
Chowdhry was ousted as president of the International Amateur Boxing Association in 2006 over alleged corruption and mismanagement. He had led the organization for 20 years.
Change came abruptly to amateur boxing in 2006 when Taiwan's Wu Ching-kuo unexpectedly ousted Chowdhry for leadership of AIBA.
The next year, Chowdhry was barred for life from any involvement with the governing body for allegedly mishandling hundreds of thousands of dollars in federation funds.
Chowdhry is survived by three daughters.
