IOC Recommends Boxing’s Inclusion At 2028 LA Olympics
The International Olympic Committee: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive board has recommended that boxing be included at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. Although the final decision will be made by the IOC at this week's session in Greece, outgoing president Thomas Bach expects it to be given the green light.
Boxing was not included in the programme for the LA Olympics, which was released in 2022 but after World Boxing garnered provisional recognition as the sport’s governing body, the IOC confirmed their recommendation.
"After the provisional recognition of World Boxing in February we were in a position to take this decision. This recommendation has to go to the session, but I am very confident they will approve it so that all the boxers of the world then have certainty they can participate in the Olympic Games in LA,” said Bach at the IOC Executive Board (EB) meeting held remotely from the Olympic House.
