OREANDA-NEWS Boxing is included in the program of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The relevant decision was approved on Thursday at the 144th session of the IOC in Costa Navarino (Greece), the IOC press service reports.
Initially, boxing was not included in the program of the Games, approved by the IOC session in February 2022. The reason is a disagreement with the International Boxing Association (IBA).
In 2023, the delegates of the extraordinary session of the IOC voted to revoke the recognition of the International Boxing Association (IBA), headed by Russian Umar Kremlev.
Prior to that, in 2019, the IOC suspended IBA membership due to complaints about the organization's management system, finances and refereeing. The IBA was not involved in the organization of the qualification and Olympic competitions of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and was not allowed to organize the Olympic boxing tournament at the 2024 Games in Paris and the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. The duties of the International Boxing Association were performed by the IOC.
In February of this year, the IOC temporarily recognized World Boxing as an international federation governing boxing at the global level.
