Japan Amateur Boxing Federation president Akira Yamane said Friday he is not considering stepping down over a number of allegations he is facing, including forcing referees to rig decisions.

"I am not thinking about resigning over these allegations. The federation did not commit any flaws," Yamane said in a live appearance on Nippon TV.

Despite apologizing for "causing a stir," Yamane has denied the allegation that the JABF instructed referees to make bad judgements in response to a complaint filed last month by a privately formed amateur boxing support group.
