Boxing's Future Still In Doubt, IOC EB Okays Weightlifting, Modern Pentathlon For 2028 Olympic Games
IOC President Thomas Bach: Boxing's inclusion in the sports programme in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 is still uncertain even as the Executive Board (EB) of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved the inclusion of weightlifting and modern pentathlon.
These three sports were not among the 28 sports that the IOC had approved for LA 2028 in February this year. The recommendation will now be put up during the 141st IOC Session to be held in Mumbai from Monday (Oct 15).
The IOC EB on Friday discussed the situation of boxing as a sport in the Olympics as the International Boxing Association (IBA) has been derecognised and has decided that it is not feasible for it to organise the competitions like it did in Tokyo 2020 and will be doing in Paris 2024.
