The session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has unanimously voted to include boxing in the program of the 2028 Olympic Games to be held in the United States.
“Thank you for approving the return of boxing to the Olympic program. We look forward to a great Olympic boxing tournament,” IOC President Thomas Bach said after the vote.
Bach noted that the competition will be organized by the World Boxing Federation. World Boxing was founded in 2023 after the severance of relations between the IOC and the International Boxing Association (IBA). The 2028 Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles from July 14 to 30.
