France eyes rival boxing body to stay in Games
The Straits Times
|November 06, 2024
France became the latest country to quit the International Boxing Association (IBA) to "guarantee French boxing its place at the Olympic Games", governing body FFBoxe said in a statement on Nov 4.
-
The IBA, the longstanding ruling body of traditionally amateur competitions, such as the Olympics, is involved in a brawl with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over financial, governance and ethical concerns.
The IOC took over the running of the boxing competition at the Paris Olympics.
IOC president Thomas Bach had warned that boxing's national federations needed to find a new and "reliable" international partner to ensure the sport features at the Los Angeles Games in 2028.
A decision is due in early 2025 on whether to keep the sport.
