International Boxing Association Stripped Of IOC Recognition

Thursday, 22 June 2023 14:30

By Oisin Coyne @OisinCoyne

The International Olympic Committee say it's due to failure to complete reforms on governance, finance and ethical issues.

The International Boxing Association's been stripped of its recognition as the sport's global body by the International Olympic Committee.

It's due to what the IOC say was failure to complete reforms on governance, finance and ethical issues.

The IBA had called the IOC board's recommendation "truly abhorrent and purely political" and tried to have it blocked through an urgent appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, sports highest court, which rejected the appeal on Tuesday.

Boxing remains part of next year's Paris Olympics, but qualification bouts and the competition are being run by the IOC and not the IBA.
