IBA has called on national federations to join its legal action against the IOC
The International Boxing Association (IBA) has called on national federations to join its legal action against the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
"IBA urges all its national federations to join the legal proceedings against the IOC in Switzerland. By working together, we can strengthen our chances of ending this pressure from both the IOC and National Olympic Committees (NOCs). For those considering additional legal measures in their own countries to protect their rights, IBA offers support in national legal cases," the organization stated on its official website.
This follows the IOC's decision on June 22, 2023, to revoke the IBA’s recognition, a motion supported by 69 votes in favor and one against.
On August 26, 2024, IBA filed a complaint with the Swiss Competition Commission, accusing the IOC of unfair dominance in the global sports market.
