The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is afraid of the power of the International Boxing Association (IBA). The promoter shared this opinion with Vladimir Khryunov .
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.
— I think today the world is polar. And look at the decisions of the courts which are not within our jurisdiction… This is an indicator that they are afraid of the power existing in the person of the IBA. There is simply nothing to contrast, nothing to contrast on the scale of the personality of the leader (Umar Kremlev), the number of athletes involved and the performances. It’s just a way of manipulating. I laughed very hard while watching a video of an interview with Thomas Bach (with Russian pranksters Vovan (Vladimir Kuznetsov) and Lexus (Alexey Stolyarov)… Well, take something male, first understand to who you are talking about… Get “This only shows inconstancy and the absence of his own principles and moral principles. He was babbling something there,” Khryunov 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.
In 2023, the IBA allowed Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in international competitions displaying national symbols, contrary to IOC recommendations.
