"A breakaway international governing body for boxing is set to be announced tomorrow by a group of National Federations tomorrow in a bid to save the sport's place on the Olympic programme.

A group of countries, led by the United States and Great Britain, will officially confirm they are quitting the International Boxing Association (IBA), led by Russia's Umar Kremlev, to launch a new organisation called "World Boxing". 

An online briefing is due to be staged by tomorrow and will be attended by four "boxing leaders" with representatives from USA Boxing and GB Boxing joined by a group of European countries. 

They are promising to make a "major global announcement regarding the future of Olympic boxing".

"Four boxing leaders will be available to answer questions about this worldwide development which is designed to secure boxing's on-going place at the heart of the Olympic Movement and deliver a better future for the sport," read a statement from the organisers."

the distribution of the future Olympic medals between the USA and GBR has started. :whistle:

 

I do really hope that the IOC will get rid of this farce that's become OLympic boxing.

This boxing situation might actually escalate into the entire Paris Olympics being cancelled. In fact, that is extremely likely!

Do you think France might be completely cancelled? And if it was there would a really nice ocean between Belgium and Spain where you could hold Olympic surfing instead of having to go to Tahiti.

  • 1 month later...

IBA announced the 2024 Women's World Championships will be held in Astana, Kazakhstan. Gold medallists will receive 200k US dollars so it's 100% raise from the 100k prize at the last WCh in New Delhi. Money is always one thing that could make athletes reconsider the potential boycott...

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
