Boxing will only be included in the programme for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles if the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has found an international federation partner by early next year. The IOC said in a statement on Wednesday that "for governance reasons" it was not able to organize a third Olympic boxing tournament, following 2021 in Tokyo and this summer's Paris Games. The IOC stepped in to keep boxing in the Games after it first suspended and last year de-recognized the International Boxing Association (IBA) in connection with long standing IBA governance and financing concerns.

The International Boxing Federation (IBA) has hit out at the world's highest sports court CAS and Olympic leaders after its appeal against a ban from the Olympic family was turned down.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has voiced sharp criticism on some Russian reactions to its decision that Russian and Belarusian athletes will not be allowed to take part in the parade of nations at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

The decision was unanimously approved by the IOC executive board, with Bach saying on Wednesday "there wasn't even a discussion. "It goes without saying that I always respect recommendations from t...

Russian and Belarusian athletes allowed to compete at the Paris Olympics are barred from the parade of nations at the opening ceremony, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Tuesday. IOC director James McLeod said the decision was taken by the executive board because they will be at the Games as independent neutral athletes and not representatives of their nations. But he said the Russians and Belarusians would be given the opportunity to "experience the event" on July 26 on site. McLeod said a decision on their participation at the August 11 closing ceremony would come at a later ...

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has accused Russia of a "cynical attempt to politicise sport" through planned Friendship Games and called on all of its stakeholders not to participate in and support it.

The IOC executive board was to decide on Tuesday whether Russia and Belarus will be allowed to participate at the Paris openi...
