Line 198: * The [[International Boxing Association]] (IBA) was suspended by the IOC in 2019 for governance, financial, and corruption issues, which resulted in boxing at the [[boxing at the 2020 Summer Olympics|2020]] and [[Boxing at the 2024 Summer Olympics|2024]] Games being overseen by an external, IOC task force. Governance concerns increased following the election of [[Umar Kremlev]] as its president in December 2020 due to his opposition to the independent appointment of judges and officials, and allegations of increasing Russian influence (including moving some of its operations to Russia, and his appointment of state-owned oil and gas company [[Gazprom]] as the organisation's main sponsor in 2021. The IBA had also stifled attempts by candidates to challenge Kremlev's presidency, and lifted an IOC-recommended ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes (in response to the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]]) in October 2022.<ref name="WaPo">{{Cite news |last=Carpenter |first=Les |date=September 27, 2022 |title=Boxing's governing body nixes new election, jeopardizing Olympic future |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |location=[[Brussels]]|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2022/09/27/umar-kremlev-russia-olympic-boxing/ |access-date=October 6, 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20221006152632/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2022/09/27/umar-kremlev-russia-olympic-boxing/ |archive-date=October 6, 2022}}</ref><ref name="Yle">{{Cite web |date=October 5, 2022 |title=Venäläiset ja valkovenäläiset takaisin nyrkkeilykisoihin – järkyttyneet ruotsalaiset ilmoittivat jo boikotoivansa, Suomen liitolla pohdinnat käynnissä |url=https://yle.fi/urheilu/3-12650490 |access-date=October 6, 2022 |work=[[Yle]] |archive-date=October 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021165106/https://yle.fi/urheilu/3-12650490 |url-status=live }}</ref> A competing governing body known as [[World Boxing]] was established in April 2023 by a consortium of national federations that had expressed concerns over the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the IBA, and over the future of boxing as an Olympic event.
