World Boxing

World Boxing is an international sports organization regulating amateur (Olympic-style) boxing. It was formed in response to the breakdown in relations between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Boxing Association (IBA), over governance and integrity problems in the latter.

World Boxing is campaigning to keep boxing as an Olympic sport after the 2024 Summer Olympics, when the IOC's special qualification arrangements expire: they specifically claim that they are the only international boxing federation that can keep boxing in the Summer Olympics.

Common Cause Alliance
A number of boxing national federations formed the Common Cause Alliance (CCA) as part of an effort to keep boxing in the Summer Olympics calendar from the 2024 edition in Paris onwards.

The alliance was formed in early 2022 by 18 federations. It called for the Russian-led International Boxing Association to disclose its financial dealings with Russian energy giant Gazprom, determine the detrimental effects of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and for IBA to take stronger action against the Russian Boxing Federation.

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. 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.

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.
