International Boxing Association

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. At the Paris 2024 IOC Session in July 2024, the IOC voted to remove the International Boxing Association from their list of recognised IFs in favor of the new federation, World Boxing. The IBA has responded to this by changing course and began promoting bare knuckle boxing competitions, which were last held on a regular basis in the 19th century.
