The International Olympic Committee is thinking about removing boxing from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris due to corruption charges and a deteriorating relationship with the world boxing federation. Olympic fans can buy Olympic Boxing Tickets from our website.

The IOC denounced the International Boxing Association and its president, Umar Kremlev, in a statement given to The Washington Post.

The IOC statement said, in part, “It has also become evident again that IBA attempts to divert from its significant governance difficulties by alluding to the past, which has already been handled by the IOC in 2019.”

The IOC will need to take all of this into account when making further decisions, which may, in light of these most recent discoveries, require the cancellation of boxing for the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.

The announcement follows Kremlev’s criticism of the International Olympic Committee’s decision to exclude boxing from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics unless the IBA undergoes significant reforms in the wake of the match-fixing scandal at the Rio de Janeiro ...
... Olympics.

At the IBA’s Global Boxing Forum last week in Abu Dhabi, Kremlev remarked, “They have no right to tell us how to live.” “Our association’s business should not be influenced or meddled with by any other group.”

IOC seeks “a pathway back to inclusion” for Russian and Belarusian athletes

Kremlev, who was elected in 2020, has come under fire for allegedly consolidating the IBA’s authority in his native Russia, spending a lot of money on marketing that looks to promote him, and placing undue reliance on the IBA’s sole sponsor, the Russian energy giant Gazprom.

He has occasionally advocated abandoning the Olympics, claiming that the organizers are “just interested in its own power” and have “no real interest in the sport of boxing and the boxers.”

Following a report on the staged fights in Rio earlier this year, the IOC declared it would hold the boxing tournament in Paris, just as it had done in Tokyo. It even published a schedule of boxing qualifying tournaments two weeks ago.

The IOC first mentioned dropping the sport from the 2024 schedule in a statement on Thursday. Before the beginning of the qualifying tournaments next summer, a choice would need to be made.

The declaration comes after a strange two-week period in which the IBA sent a team to the IOC’s Lausanne, Switzerland, headquarters to request that boxing is added to the Los Angeles Games, only to have Kremlev unload on the IOC days later and imply the group would leave the Olympics.

Kremlev has pledged revisions since he took over the IBA, but because he doesn’t want an outside system of referees and judges, concerns regarding judging at IBA-run events have persisted. His primary opponent, Dutch boxing legend Boris van der Vorst, was disqualified a day before the election, which made his reelection this year difficult. Later, after the IBA voted against holding one, the Court of Arbitration for Sport compelled a second election that never took place.

Despite ongoing issues, the IOC has been reluctant to abandon boxing since it delivers the kind of economic, ethnic, cultural, and geographic variety the IOC seeks. Boxing’s presence in the Games dates back to the 1904 Games.

The stalemate with Kremlev, however, signals that the sport’s future in the Games may be in peril unless new leadership or a new organization were to assume charge, as the IOC does not wish to manage boxing’s Olympic competitions in perpetuity.

Indian boxers fear that Paris 2024 may bring instability to their sport.

With the 2020 Olympics rapidly approaching, the conflict between the International Olympic Committee and the International Boxing Association is getting worse.

Indian boxers are concerned about the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) warning that it may withdraw boxing from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris due to growing discontent with the International Boxing Association’s (IBA) efforts to clean up the sport.

Indian boxers are hoping to place first in the French capital after winning medals in three of the last four Olympics. However, the controversy surrounding boxing’s inclusion as an Olympic event may ruin their aspirations.

IOC has expressed major concerns regarding IBA governance, financial mismanagement, refereeing, and judging issues, and has not been happy with the international boxing organization’s reforms implemented over the past two years by Russian President Umar Kremlev.

The IOC announced last year that boxing would not be included in the first schedule for the 2028 Los Angeles Games and that it would take over qualification for the Paris Olympics by putting the process under its Task Force, much as it had done for the Tokyo Olympics.

Boxers are understandably concerned about the developments, according to Narender Rana, the men’s national team coach of India. “We attempt to reassure them that the global organization is making every effort, but they still seem apprehensive.”

According to the IOC program, in addition to two world qualification tournaments scheduled for 2024, the Asian Games, which China has postponed to be held in September or October of that year, will serve as a qualifying event for Indian boxers. The future of the Hangzhou Asian Games is still up in the air due to Covid. Lovlina Borgohain won bronze to join the other nine Indian boxers who qualified for Tokyo.

It doesn’t appear that the IBA-IOC conflict will soon be over. Kremlev stated last month at the IBA’s Congress in Abu Dhabi that boxers would not participate in the Olympics without the IBA. “I want to emphasize that without IBA, not a single fighter, coach, or country federation would compete in the Olympics. The boxers have asked for this.

IBA’s multimillion-dollar contract renewal with Russia’s state energy behemoth Gazprom is a key bone of contention with IOC. Another is allowing Russian and Belarusian boxers to compete in IBA competitions under their national flags in violation of IOC sanctions resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“The most recent IBA Congress shown one more that IBA is just concerned with preserving its authority and has no true interest in boxing or its athletes. Boxers cannot be included in the Olympic Games or Olympic qualifications, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stated in a statement.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) stated that it “will have to take all this into consideration when it takes further decisions, which may – after these latest developments – have to include the cancellation of boxing for the Olympic Games Paris 2024” about the sponsorship extension with Gazprom and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling not leading to a new presidential election.

In a statement released on Saturday, IBA said that the IOC’s intention to ban boxing from Paris was the latest attack against boxers. The Olympics cannot be used as a tool of extortion of the International Disciplines Federations for simply political objectives, as is unacceptable happening now. The Olympics are a worldwide athletic asset that belongs to athletes of all sports.

Kremlev, who was elected in 2020, has drawn criticism for allegedly strengthening the IBA’s power in his home country of Russia, spending a lot of money on marketing designed to support him, and creating an unfair reliance on the IBA’s single sponsor, the Russian energy company Gazprom.
On occasion, he has called for the Olympics to be abandoned, saying that the organizers have “no real interest in the sport of boxing and the boxers” and are “only interested in its power.”
