Description

Founded as Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur (AIBA), later renamed as the International Boxing Association (IBA) in December 2021. In 2019 the IOC voted to rescind recognition of the AIBA/IBA, and in June 2023, at a special meeting of the IOC Executive Board, it withdrew recognition of the IBA as the governing body of non-professional international boxing. On 22 June 2023, at an Extraordinary IOC Session the IOC voted to expel the IBA from the Olympic Movement, the first time that any international federation was expelled from the IOC. The vote by the IOC Members was 69-1 in favor of expulsion.
