Boxing is set to be on the program for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles after years of disputes over how the sport is run.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Monday that the IOC’s executive board approved including boxing on the 2028 program.
It still needs a full IOC session to sign off on the decision later this week, but that’s usually a formality.
The IOC organized the boxing tournaments at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and the Paris Games last year after relations with the International Boxing Association broke down, but said it needed a new partner in time for 2028.
