PARIS: A decision on boxing’s inclusion at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has to be made in 2025, IOC president Thomas Bach said on Friday.
Boxing at the Paris Games is being run by the IOC after it stripped IBA of recognition in 2023 over its failure to implement reforms.
The IOC has not included the sport on the LA 2028 programme yet and has urged national boxing federations to create a new global body or risk missing out on the Olympics in four years.
“During the next year, as soon as possible. But we cannot wait longer than the end of next year,” Bach told a presser when asked when IOC would decide on boxing’s inclusion for LA.
