BERLIN — The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Feb 26 granted provisional recognition to World Boxing in a major step towards the sport's inclusion in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
The boxing competition at the Paris 2024 Olympics was run by the IOC, after it stripped the International Boxing Association (IBA) of recognition in 2023 over its failure to implement reforms on governance and finance.
The IOC has not included the sport on the LA 2028 programme yet, having urged national boxing federations to create a new global boxing body or risk missing out on the Olympics.
World Boxing was launched in 2023 and has now 78 members across five continents.
