IOC set to include boxing in 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

(UPDATE) COSTA Navarino, Greece — Boxing is set to be among the sports at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after a new governing body was selected, International Olympic Committee (IOC) chief Thomas Bach said on Monday (Tuesday in Manila).

Bach said the IOC's Executive Board approved including boxing on the 2028 program after his organization recognized World Boxing to oversee the sport at the Olympics, ending years of divisions over the way the sport is run.
