The IBA was temporarily suspended by the IOC, and finally disqualified, due to financial, administrative and arbitration irregularities, which remained unresolved for years.
Therefore, the classification process in Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 They are organized by the IOC itself, which however has assured that it will not repeat this procedure in Los Angeles 2028 and that boxing will not be included in the program if there is no other federation in charge.
