LAUSANNE, Switzerland : The International Boxing Association's recognition as the global body for the sport was stripped on Thursday by the International Olympic Committee , which ratified an executive board recommendation.
The IBA had called the IOC board's recommendation"truly abhorrent and purely political" and tried to have it blocked through an urgent appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, sports highest court, which rejected the appeal on Tuesday. Boxing is part of the Paris 2024 Olympics but the qualification bouts and the competition are being run by the IOC and not the IBA, as was the case in Tokyo.
