I completely agree with my Friend INTERISTA (and evidently fan of the Olympic boxe): hopefully both Olympic boxe and Inter will come back ... "a riveder le stelle" (Dante, what a genious ...!)

As I wrote, the IOC must supervise the competition, removing the sport is not the only alternative to a corrupt competition...cancelling it in November (instead of making everything possible in order to have a regular competition) means that a good number of people have unnecessarily wasted two and a half years of their lives.

 

Which still sounds better to me than wasting 3 or 4 years (depending if you get robbed at qualifiers or Olympics proper). :)

Yeah, choosing some mobster crime lord as president or something, but like that'll ever happen, haha!

I'm assuming they will remove them pretty quickly if the IOC keep threatening.

I voted YES but only because this is a traditional sport and not because of AIBA. I'm agree with all of you who say that AIBA must change...and there are a lot of changes to do... (personally I don't think this federation will be changed soon, same for scoring rules, unfortunatly).

  • 1 month later...

Uzbek, Gafur Rakhimov, is set to be confirmed as the only candidate to stand for president of AIBA after his sole rival, Kazakhstan's Serik Konakbayev, allegedly failed to get enough letters of support.

The "problem" with this is that IOC have consistently warned members of AIBA to elect Rakhimov, because the US Treasury has described Rakhimov as "one of Uzbekistan’s leading criminals". 

 

 IOC Executive Committee will begin a two-day meeting tomorrow where this whole mess will probably be discussed, and possible the future of boxing at the Olympics.

Goodbye boxing, see you in 2028.

If AIBA promise to create somekind of mixed team event, IOC will probably look pass all the dodgy stuff. :p

hopefully...

but I don't trust them until I see a official statement (and even after that, I'd always fear they make up their minds, sooner or later)...:evil::facepalm:

 

 

by the way, some sad news from the world of non-Olympic boxing...

former Pro World Champion Graciano Rocchigiani died yesterday in Sicily after being hit by a car...

R.I.P. :cry:

Update:

AIBA's election committee confirms Rakhimov as the only candidate for president of AIBA.

    • I remember when Ferrari dominated inFormula 1 in the early 21st century, the rules were deliberately changed to limit their advantage. Something similar recently happened with Mercedes' dominance after 2020. And here we have a situation where Norway is favored, if the Finns are telling the truth and that's strange – should the richest federation get some extra advantage from FIS? It's certainly better for the popularity of a given discipline to have a more diverse nations on the front, than to have 3 Norwegians skiers at the front with the rest of the world 2 minutes behind. But maybe that will change, because Norway isn't as dominant in the women's competitions without Bjoergen and Johaug. I think the situation will change somewhat after Klaebo's career, even without Rus's return. Without Klaebo, Norway would not have won the entire gold medal here: in the sprint it would have been Ogden from the USA, and in the combined race: Frenchman Desloges.   Of course, the stars like Klaebo and Phelps build the popularity of a their disciplines, but it always takes some kind of great rivalry- a great rival- for people to really take an interest that. For example, in Beijing, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but in the 100 butterfly, there was fierce competition and controversy with battle against Milorad Cavic. In Klaebo's case, this hasn't been the case since Bolshunov's exclusion and that certainly has some impact on the overall situation.

    • Unfortunately, he probably lost the all season because of those cursed games for his...
    • Is France hoping for 10 gold medals at home by 2030, only in biathlon competitions? In women's their dominance is almost certain for many years to come, unless Germany invests heavily in this sport- they have the capabilities and traditions, but will they have the determination for that?     https://www.fondoitalia.it/2026/02/23/biathlon-mazet-nuovo-allenatore-di-tiro-dei-francesi-lequipe-annunciato-tra-qualche-settimana/
