The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations has called for a new organisation to take over boxing’s global duties after excluding the International Boxing Association.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped the IBA of recognition in 2023 because of its failure to complete reforms on governance, finance and ethical issues.
The IBA’s appeal was rejected this month by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), which said the IOC’s decision was “justified”.
An IBA statement on the ASOIF decision said: “While this outcome is profoundly disappointing, we wish to stress our unwavering commitment to the sport of boxing and our remarkable athletes and coaches across the globe as the IBA starts its recognition journey.
“In response to the concerns raised, the IBA reiterates that it has already implemented significant governance and compliance reforms since late 2020.
“We are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of transparency and integrity within the boxing community while delivering world-class events.”
