IOC board puts boxing back on the Olympic program for LA in 2028
On Monday, March 17, 2025, the International Olympic Committee's executive board recommended including boxing in the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics, marking a significant step towards the sport's Olympic future.
The recommendation follows the IOC's decision to strip the International Boxing Association of recognition in 2023 due to its failure to implement governance and finance reforms.
The IOC last month granted provisional recognition to World Boxing.
The boxing competition at the Paris 2024 Games was run by the IOC.
This recommendation potentially ends a years-long saga regarding boxing's place in the Olympic Games.
