World Boxing is campaigning to keep boxing as an Olympic sport after the 2024 Summer Olympics, when the IOC's special qualification arrangements expire:[2] they specifically claim that they are the only international boxing federation that can keep boxing in the Summer Olympics.[3]
In May 2022, Dutch official Boris van der Vorst, who heads the group was ruled ineligible to challenge incumbent IBA president and Russian official Umar Kremlev in an election.[6] In September 2022, an extraordinary IBA congress decided against holding any new election, this allowing Kremlev to retain the presidency. By December 2022, the membership of the Common Cause Alliance has grown to 25 federations.[7]
Formation of World Boxing
World Boxing was launched in April 2023 with its interim board including officials from member organizations of the Common Cause Alliance.[2][8][9]
