IOC sets deadline of ‘early 2025' to keep boxing in the Olympics for Los Angeles with a new partner

Associated Press  

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The International Olympic Committee on Wednesday said it needs to find a suitable new international boxing body by early next year or else risk boxing dropping out of the Olympics for the Los Angeles Games in 2028. To keep boxing on the Olympic program, the IOC needs a recognized and reliable International Federation as a partner, as with all the other Olympic sports.” The IOC called on national boxing bodies and Olympic committees to help set up a new international governing body for boxing. To keep boxing in the Olympics for Los Angeles, “the IOC needs to have a partner International Federation for boxing by early 2025,” it said. “We urge every one of them that cares about boxers and the future of the sport to apply to join and support World Boxing in its efforts to ensure boxing remains at the heart of the Olympic Movement, before it is too late.” The IBA said Wednesday it was considering whether to file an appeal to the Swiss supreme court against the CAS ruling, which it said had failed to appreciate the IBA’s own reforms.
