Respected former DIG (Special Task Force) Saman Gunaratne the Secretary of the Sri Lanka Boxing Association submitted his letter of resignation from his post earlier today citing that SLBA lacks Transparency, Honesty and Interigity.
Stating his reasons the SLBA Secretary wrote “During my tenure I had the opportunity to witness and contribute to the growth of Sri Lanka Boxing. However I have observed certain instances of a lack of transparency that I believe could hinder the association’s progress. Transparency is a fundemental principle that fosters trust and collaboration among all Executive Committee members. It is my sincere hope that the association will continue to move forward with a strong commitment to openness and interigity.”

However, I soon realized that the SLBA was veering off course. Despite my best efforts to steer it back in the right direction, it proved to be an impossible task. As a result, I have decided to resign and walk away.”
