And I like that it’s between two Mexicans because it’s a win-win for Mexico. So, I’m excited and prepared both mentally and physically for this new opportunity.

“This is a very significant moment as it provides an opportunity for the sport (subject to the decision of the IOC Session on 22 June 23) to move on from the corrosive leadership of IBA which has brought boxing to a place where its status as part of the Olympic program is in doubt.
The IBA’s rival, World Boxing, applauded the IOC’s decision. Now, we are left with no chance but to demand a fair assessment from a competent court.” We accepted the process and the rules, but in the end, we were not assessed fairly. We have made the International Boxing Association new, transparent, clean…for four years, the IBA has not received a single opportunity to present its achievements at an in-person meeting with the IOC, rather than only exchanging letters and emails instead. IBA President Umar Kremlev said, “From a disreputable organization named AIBA governed by someone from the IOC’s upper echelon, we committed to and executed a change in the toxic and corrupt culture that was allowed to fester under the IOC for far too long. The IBA has been suspended since 2019 and the IOC itself oversaw the 2020 games in Japan. To discuss the matter and take a decision, the IOC EB and the IOC President have convened an extraordinary IOC Session to be held remotely on June 22. The IOC EB also recommended to the IOC Session – in the interest of the boxing athletes and the sport of boxing – to maintain boxing on the sports program of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The Executive Board (EB) of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended on Wednesday to the IOC Session to withdraw recognition of the International Boxing Association (IBA), in accordance with Rule 3.7 of the Olympic Charter (OC).
