USA Boxing, the national governing body for the sport in the country, terminated its membership of the Russian-led International Boxing Association on Wednesday
USA Boxing, the national governing body for the sport in the country, terminated its membership of the Russian-led International Boxing Association on Wednesday as a result of the organization’s failure to address issues which saw the IBA’s International Olympic Committee recognition suspended in 2019.
USA Boxing decided not to send any athletes to compete at the 2023 World Championships, organized by the IBA, for a number of reasons, including the “participation of athletes under sanctioned flags” and “false and exaggerated statements from IBA leadership.” Russian and Belarusian athletes were permitted to compete under their flags at the women’s world championship in New Delhi in March and will be able to do so at the men’s competition in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in May.
