The International Boxing Association's appeal against losing its status as the sport's world governing body is rejected.
The International Boxing Association's appeal against the removal of its status as the sport's world governing body has been rejected.
The IBA was stripped of the status by the International Olympic Committee in June 2023 and took the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Cas said the IBA had not made enough change in financial transparency, integrity of officials and its culture.The IOC's executive board recommended the move after the IBA failed to meet set reforms following its 2019 suspension over governance issues and alleged corruption.Last year, in response to the vote, the Russian-led IBA accused the IOC of making a "tremendous error" and compared the move to Germany's actions in the Second World War.
Last month World Boxing said it will seek recognition from Olympic organisers to replace the IBA and keep the sport on the programme for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.Why did four tragic murders spark an online obsession?
