“We want to keep boxing in the Olympic program. However, this is possible if there is a reliable international federation with a good reputation, good governance and financial transparency,” Bach told TASS.

This organization has refused to implement the IOC’s recommendations to deprive Russian and Belarusian athletes of their national identification, and boxers from these countries continue to participate without restrictions in competitions under the auspices of the IBA.
