Boxing at the Summer Olympics

For the style of boxing also known as "Olympic Boxing", see Amateur boxing.

Boxing has been contested at every Summer Olympic Games since its introduction to the program at the 1904 Summer Olympics, except for the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, because Swedish law banned the sport at the time.^[1] The 2008 Summer Olympics were the final games with boxing as a male only event. Since the 2012 Summer Olympics, women's boxing is part of the program.^[2]

History

Boxing made its first appearance at the 1904 Summer Olympics as a men's event. Due to few competitors at the time, only North American boxers competed for this edition.^[3] Since the 1908 Olympics, boxing has been contested at every Summer Olympic Games besides the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, because Swedish law banned the martial arts at the time.^[1]

Until 1948, losing semi-finalists competed in a match for a bronze medal. However, in 1950 the Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) decided to discontinue the bronze medal match as the short time interval between the semi-finals and the third-place match allowed limited time for competitors to recover. In 1970, the AIBA proposed for both losing semi-finalists to receive a bronze medals, which was accepted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and implemented since the 1972 Summer Olympics. Losing semi-finalists from 1952 to 1968 were also retroactively awarded bronze medals after initially only receiving Olympic diplomas.^[4][5]

In 2007, AIBA changed its full name to the "International Boxing Association" as part of a rebranding, albeit maintaining "AIBA" as its abbreviated name.^[6]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, women's boxing events were added to the programme for the first time.^[2] In 2016, the AIBA allowed professional boxers to compete in Olympic events, previously being limited to amateur or state-funded boxers, for the first time.^[7][8]

On 22 May 2019, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the AIBA had been stripped of the right to organise the tournament, due to "issues in the areas of finance, governance, ethics and refereeing and judging".^[9] Boxing was instead organised by an ad-hoc task force led by Morinari Watanabe, president of the International Gymnastics Federation.^[9] In 2021, AIBA also unveiled a new logo and officially adopted "IBA" as its abbreviated name.^[6]

Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, 18 boxing national federations formed a consortium known as the "Common Cause Alliance" (CCA), which called for greater transparency on its finances (including its Gazprom agreement), determine the detrimental effects of the invasion on the IBA, and for it to take stronger action against the Russian Boxing Federation. The CCA also pledged support for boxing to continue being a Summer Olympic sport.^[10][11]

During the IBA Congress in May 2022, one day before a presidential vote, five candidates connected to the CCA were deemed ineligible by IBA's Interim Nomination Unit, accusing them of engaging in prohibited "collaborations" and campaigning outside of the designated period. One of the candidates—Dutch official Boris van der Vorst—filed for an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), stating that the candidates had been approved by the IBA's Disciplinary Committee, which had also approved the CCA's activities as being supportive of the IBA's mission.^[12][13] The CAS overruled the IBA decision, resulting in an Extraordinary IBA Congress in September; however, the IBA's members voted against van der Vorst's proposal to challenge Kremlev's re-election.^[14] By December 2022, the membership of the Common Cause Alliance had grown to 25 federations.^[15]

In April 2023, the IOC stated that it needs to have a partner International Federation for boxing by early 2025, otherwise the sport's presence at the 2028 Summer Olympics would be at risk.^[16] On 13 April 2023, World Boxing was launched as a competitor to the IBA, with its interim board including officials from member organizations of the CCA, and van der Vorst named inaugural president.^[17][18][19]

On 22 June 2023, the IOC Executive Board voted to permanently withdraw its recognition of the IBA, citing a continued lack of progress on governance, finances, and addressing corruption since its original suspension.^[20] This was the first-ever international federation to be removed from the Olympic Movement by the IOC.^[21] In the 2024 Summer Olympics, the IOC organised boxing itself through the "Paris Boxing Unit".^[22] At the time, boxing was not yet included for the 2028 games.^[22] On 30 September 2024, IOC asked NOCs to derecognise boxing bodies that remained tied to IBA.^[23]

On 26 February 2025, the IOC announced that it had granted provisional recognition to World Boxing as an international federation for amateur boxing, citing its ongoing progress on membership reach and commitments to competitive integrity.^[24] On 17 March 2025, the IOC Executive Board recommended adding boxing to the sports programme of the 2028 Summer Olympics.^[25][26] On 20 March 2025, during the 144th IOC session, boxing was unanimously voted to be included in the 2028 games.^[27][28]

Events

The boxing competition is organized as a set of tournaments, one for each weight class. The number of weight classes has changed over the years (currently 7 for men and 6 for women), and the definition of each class has changed several times, as shown in the following table. Until 1936, weights were measured in pounds, and from 1948 onwards, weights were measured in kilograms.

On 23 March 2013, the International Boxing Association instituted significant changes to the format. The World Series of Boxing, AIBA's pro team league which started in 2010, already enabled team members to retain 2012 Olympic eligibility. The newer AIBA Pro Boxing Tournament, consisting of boxers who sign 5-year contracts with AIBA and compete on pro cards leading up to the tournament, also provides a pathway for new pros to retain their Olympic eligibility and retain ties with national committees.^[29][30]

From the 2016 Summer Olympics, male athletes no longer have to wear protective headgear in competition, due to a ruling by the AIBA and the IOC that it contributes to greater concussion risk. Female athletes will continue to wear the headgear, due to "lack of data" on the effectiveness of it on women.^[31] Also from 2016 onwards, the "10-point must" scoring system was used.^[29]
