Ahmad Natiq Noori, former Member of Parliament and former Boxing Federation President, has died at the age of 89.

Ahmad Natiq Noori, former Member of Parliament and former Boxing Federation President, has died at the age of 89.

Boxing was closed in Iran until after the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, and the reactivation of this field began with Ahmad Natik Nouri's chairmanship of the Boxing Federation, which lasted until 1396.

Ahmad Natik Nouri is the elder brother of Ali Akbar Natik Nouri, who was a presidential candidate and head of Ayatollah Khamenei's supervision office.

Ahmad Natik Nouri was the representative of Nur and Mahmoudabad in the parliament except for the second period from the first to the eighth period.

His tenure as president of the boxing federation was accompanied by many criticisms, such as in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when the boxer of the Iranian national team entered the ring without gloves.

Muhammad Ali, the boxing legend of the world, came to Iran during his presidency in 1372 and was in Iran for almost 45 days.
