International Boxing Association to be stripped of recognition-IOC

The International Olympic Committee executive board on Wednesday recommended withdrawing recognition of the International Boxing Association (IBA) over its failure to meet a set of reforms but also confirmed that the sport would be part of the Los Angeles 2028 summer Games.
The IOC suspended the IBA in 2019 over governance, finance, refereeing and ethical issues and did not involve it in running the boxing events at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
It had also provisionally excluded the sport from the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The decision now only needs the rubberstamping of the IOC session
