International Boxing Association has found itself into tough times from more than a year now and the reason for this has been the financial mismanagement which has totally degraded the system which was once considered a key department in the biggest event of games, Olympics

Most of us are aware of the recent revolt against the ex-president of AIBA. He was revolted for his continuous abuse of the position and for his lack of management in the association. The uproar has had certain effects on the reputation of the game and the governing people of the body, one important outcome of this disruption may end up in excluding Boxing from the biggest sports event Olympics which will be held in Tokyo in the year 2020.

Olympics Committee has made it very clear that they want the Boxing Association to start improving things or they could face exclusion. The governing body of the International Boxing Association has been a disappointment lately and it has in a way forced International Olympics Committee to take a stand against it. The committee has decided to withdraw its support to the Association and has even warned them of excluding the game from the biggest event of games. Olympics Committee is hoping for the redesign of policies that can lead to proper governance as well as improved financial and operational management.

Boxing has been a mainstream game in the Olympics and it won't be wrong to call it a game which has even represented Olympics since its introduction. Boxing has already completed it's 100 years in Olympics but it is also true that it has lost its charm over the time. There could be many reasons for the deterioration of its structure but the leadership and corruption are definitely on the top in my opinion.

This news regarding the possible exclusion of the game from the Olympics can come as a disappointment for all the Boxing lovers, be it audience or the real players themselves. It is a huge setback for those who have devoted their lives to boxing and the ones who have represented it on a such a big platform.


It is time for the Association to bring down the challenges and the difficult time that they are facing. They will need to eradicate all the issues and there focus should be on addressing all the concerns to keep Boxing in the Olympics.
