After some deliberation recently it appears boxing might make it to the Olympics again after all.
It was on the chopping block recently after a very poor overall Olympics in France last year.
Thankfully post-France the planet has moved on from that monstrosity of a games, and earlier today the IOC on X said:
“IOC Executive Board puts boxing forward to the IOC Session for inclusion at @LA28. IOC President Thomas Bach announces proposal at press briefing.”
Good news for amateur boxing and for boxing overall of course.
It would be a pity of boxing were to be omitted from the next Olympics.
How or who is running it in the Olympics remains to be seen exactly just yet.
