On Tuesday, the CAS announced that it had rejected the IBA’s appeal against the IOC session’s decision to withdraw recognition of the organization.
“Everything was planned, nothing like this happened.” The IOC has not recognized the IBA for a long time. The International Boxing Association lives its own life. There are many federations around the world that support it, organize world and European championships and professional fights. Let the IOC organize the Olympics itself,” Tishchenko told .
In 2019, the IOC temporarily withdrew the recognition status of the IBA for economic reasons and due to a management crisis within the organization, and also presented demands for reforms. In June 2023, the IOC, following a vote, announced the derecognition of the IBA. In mid-June, the boxing association filed an appeal with the CAS against this decision and asked the court to suspend the IOC’s recommendations until the court’s final verdict.
