Olympic Paris: IBA unveils Olympic boxing qualification system for Paris 2024
The International Boxing Association has announced its own qualification system for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite having been stripped of the right to do so by the International Olympic Committee due to governance concerns. The IOC had taken over the running of boxing events, including the qualification process, for the Olympic Paris last year. The IBA, led by Russian official Umar Kremlev, claimed it has now assumed the role of the international governing body for boxing to provide clarity to athletes.

The organization criticized the IOC for its delay in publishing a clear qualification system. The IOC Executive Board ratified the revised criteria, which does not include the IBA Women’s and Men’s World Championships. But the IBA has insisted that these events will be the main qualification events under its system. Which it claims is necessary to protect its athletes. The IBA will implement the criteria approved by the IOC in April 2022. And has stated that it will not accept any other qualification process for Paris 2024.
The organizers have scheduled the Women’s Boxing World Championships to take place in New Delhi, India from March 15 to 26. The Men’s World Championships will follow in Tashkent, Uzbekistan from May 1 to 14. In addition to these championships, IBA’s five continental bodies will organize events that will also serve as Olympic qualifiers. As well as three Golden Belt Series events and a final qualification event scheduled for May 2024 in the United Arab Emirates. A total of 248 quota places will be available, split evenly between men and women.
France Olympic: IBA files complaint over rogue boxing group as U.S. leaves before Olympic Paris
On Wednesday, the International Boxing Association filed an official complaint against the individuals and entities. The creation of a new world boxing federation with the Boxing Independent Integrity Unit involved certain individuals. This comes after a group, including the United States and Britain, announced a breakaway new world boxing federation earlier this month aimed at securing the troubled sport’s Olympic future.
In response, USA Boxing has terminated its 77-year membership in the IBA. By citing the association’s failure to uphold its mission and the principles of its constitution. And failure to respect the Olympic charter and movement. The leaders of World Boxing, a newly-formed federation, have announced their intention to seek recognition from the International Olympic Committee. Which was by drawing criticism from the Russian-led International Boxing Association.
The IOC suspended the IBA in 2019 due to governance concerns. The IBA has denounced the move by World Boxing, describing it as an attempt to damage the progress made by the IBA in securing the future of the sport. IBA has initiated actions to provide clarity to boxing stakeholders regarding its autonomy as the global governing body of boxing.

The future of boxing’s place in the Olympics outside the Paris Games is ambiguous. As the sport is not counted in the opening package for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This is due to the International Olympic Committee’s demand for reforms following issues related to governance, finance, refereeing, and ethics. And it resulted in the suspension of the IBA from involvement in the Tokyo Olympics and qualifiers for Paris 2024.
