This is the same thing as Russia. Always blah blah, but the IOC will not have the spine to do anything. Boxing will survive (and under AIBA, one way or another).

Just wait until the Dear Leader hears about this.

He will "express grave concern" about the "gender diversity, youthfulness and urbanity" of the IBA and then appoint a 12-year-old refugee to be President

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Boxing as a sport has too much support, it would be like trying to get rid of gymnastics, I just don't see it happening. At best the IOC would just recognize someone else as the true boxing federation.

This is a comment by one of the leading observers of the IOC.

 

"All the indications point to boxing being excluded from Paris 2024; boxing has been a part of the Games continuously since 1920. There is a possibility of a challenger federation being organized, but at this point, the IOC seems ready to simply exclude the sport.

If so, it’s unlikely that the IOC’s issues with the IBA would be settled by the fall and boxing would then be likely to be skipped in 2028 as well.

Maybe that’s what Kremlev has in mind anyway, as he recently made an agreement with the World Boxing Association (WBA) to create a joint pathway to professional boxing. In that case, a new Olympic-focused boxing federation could emerge, despite Kremlev’s insistence that the IBA is the owner of worldwide amateur boxing."
