IOC Grants Provisional Recognition To World Boxing As The New International Federation
Los Angeles Olympic Games: The Executive Board (EB) of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), during a remote meeting held on Wednesday, provisionally recognised World Boxing (WB) as the International Federation (IF) within the Olympic Movement governing the sport of boxing at the world level. The move clears the path for boxing to be included in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028 after the IOC suspended the International Boxing Association (IBA) before the Tokyo Olympics and conducted boxing competitions in the last two editions of the Games.
Following an assessment of the situation of World Boxing, it was noted that, among the criteria for recognizing an IF, it has satisfied requirements regarding recognition by 78 national and four Continental federations and has gained the support of a majority of boxers.
World Boxing "is composed of 78 National Federations from the five continents and four continental confederations are already established and has provided evidence that 62 percent of the boxers and 58 percent of the boxing medallists at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 are affiliated with National Federations that are members of World Boxing", the IOC said in a statement on Wednesday.
