Easy enough to organise when the winners are picked by committee.

Nope, "officially" is not the right world. It was a EB proposal, that need to be approve by the IOC Session.

 

But yeah, boxing will be in LA

and will boxing be available only to those nations who joined World Boxing?

Or who participate in the ranking tournaments organised by WB.  Whether those are open to non-members I do not know.

IBA still has many member states.

Ofcourse, no side wants some kind of agreement. 

I dont support IBA but every country should have equal rights to qualify for LA.

Presumably every country will be leaving the IBA and joining World Boxing in the next few months.
