    IOC Executive Board

    A new boxing qualification


    system for the Olympic Games
    Paris 2024 was approved by
    the Executive Board (EB) of
    the International Olympic
    Committee (IOC) today after a
    full update on the situation of
    boxing, including governance
    issues within the International
    Boxing Association (IBA).

    Boxers’ pathway to Paris 2024


    approved

    After deciding last June that the


    boxing qualifying events and
    competitions for Paris 2024 would
    not be run under the authority of the
    IBA, the IOC EB was presented with
    an additional qualification model,
    which was approved during its
    meeting in Lausanne.

    Designed by the IOC in close


    collaboration with boxing experts,
    the new qualification system is based
    on direct qualification through
    selected competitions, including the
    use of National Olympic Committee
    (NOC) regional multisport events as
    Olympic boxing qualification
    tournaments. The responsibility for
    the boxing competitions in the
    following events will therefore not lie
    with the IBA, and alternative
    arrangements will be put in place
    with the respective event organisers:

    Pan-American Games – Santiago


    2023
    European Games – Krakow 2023
    Pacific Games – Honiara 2023
    Asian Games – Hangzhou 2022
    (taking place in 2023)
    ANOCA (Africa) multisport event
    to be confirmed

    Following the continental phase of


    the quota place allocation, two world
    qualification tournaments are
    planned to be held in 2024.

    The new Olympic qualification


    process puts boxers first, lowering
    the complexity of the qualification
    process by using existing regional
    events and giving up to three
    qualification opportunities, ultimately
    achieving a fair and equal pathway
    for all boxers.

    Remaining concerns over IBA

    The various IOC concerns around


    the governance of the IBA, including
    the refereeing and judging process
    and the IBA’s financial dependency
    on the state-owned company
    Gazprom, are still ongoing.

    The IOC EB today received a report


    on the issues related to competition
    management and refereeing and
    judging processes highlighted by
    independent experts during the
    boxing competition at the recent
    Commonwealth Games in
    Birmingham.

    It also noted that no clear e^orts


    have been made by the IBA to
    respect and fully implement the
    roadmap set out by the IOC EB in
    December 2021 with regard to the
    IBA’s governance.

    As a consequence, the IOC EB has


    sent a letter to the IBA informing it
    of the IOC’s ongoing grave concern.
    Boxing is currently not included in
    the sports programme of the
    Olympic Games Los Angeles
    2028 and, considering the absence
    of any real evolution, the IOC
    Executive Board is not in a position
    to reverse its decision. This letter will
    be shared with the NOCs and
    national boxing federations.
