Boxing was officially included in the sports program of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games following a vote at the 144th International Olympic Committee (IOC) session here on Thursday.
The IOC Executive Board had provisionally recognized World Boxing as the international federation for boxing on February 26, recommending the sport’s inclusion to the IOC Session after a thorough assessment of governance and integrity criteria.
Boxing first appeared in the modern Olympics in 1904 and has featured in every edition except for Stockholm 1912.
