The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday granted provisional recognition to World Boxing as the governing body for the 2028 Los Angeles Games after severing ties with the International Boxing Association (IBA).

After running the past two Olympic competitions and cutting ties with the previous governing body, the IOC moves toward restoring the sport to the program.

The International Olympic Committee has provisionally recognized World Boxing, replacing the International Boxing Association. This decision enhances the likelihood of boxing's inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics,
