This was reported by MOC President Thomas Bach during a press conference.
“Today, the Executive Council was quite calm. Only one real decision was made. And it was about the inclusion of boxing in the Olympic Games program in Los Angeles 2028 after temporary recognition of World Boxing in February.
We made this decision, so this recommendation went to the session. I am very sure that the session will approve it. Therefore, all boxers of the world will have the confidence that they will be able to participate in the 2028 Olympic Games, if their national federations are recognized as World Boxing, “Bach said.
Boxing competitions at Paris Games in 2024 held an IOC after he deprived the International Boxing Association (IBA) in 2023, because of its inability to implement reforms in management and finance.
The IOC did not include this sport in the initial program of Games 2028, urging the national boxing federations to create a new global boxing body. The World Boxing was established in 2023 to keep boxing in the Olympic Program.
The Boxing Federation of Ukraine launched a procedure for joining World Boxing in early November.
