Boxing receives the IOC consent to the place at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles

Published

on

Boxing was included on Thursday in the Olympic program in Los Angeles in 2028 after a unanimous vote of the International Olympic Committee, ending years of doubts about the future of Olympic sport.

Last month, the IOC granted the momentary recognition of World Boxing in a vast step towards incorporating sport in the Los Angeles Games, and the Board of the IOC approved, including boxing in the 2028 program at the beginning of this week. The Thursday decision formally assured that the presence of Olympic sport would continue.

“Thank you for approving the return of boxing. We can expect a great boxing tournament,” said IOC President Thomas Bach.

The boxing competition at the Paris 2024 Games was led by the IOC after the international boxing association was deprived of recognizing in 2023 due to the lack of implementation of reforms in the field of management and finance.

The IOC did not include sport in the initial program 2028 and called on the National Boxing Federations to create a fresh global boxing body to replace IBA.

World boxing, currently with over 80 national federation as members, was published in 2023.

“This is a great day for boxers, boxing and all related to our sport at every level around the world,” said boxing president Boris van der Vorst. “This result was achieved through the huge effort of the team … And it would not be possible without the strenuous work and commitment of all national federations, boxers, trainers, officials and boxing leaders who worked together to make it happen.

“World Boxing understands that being part of the Olympic Games is a privilege, not a law, and we are determined to be a trustworthy and reliable partner who will observe and maintain the values ​​of the Olympic movement.”

The IOC said that only athletes, whose national federation was members of world boxing until the start of qualification events at the 2028 Olympic Games could take part in Los Angeles.

The IOC suspended IBA, led by the Russian businessman Umara Kremlev with close connections with Kremlin, in 2019 due to management, finance, judges and ethical issues. It was not associated with IBA in conducting boxing events at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, and in sporadic movement two years later he deprived him of recognition.

Since the suspension of IBA and Kremlev, they have been still meeting with the IOC, especially on the principles of qualifying for women in the Olympic Games in Paris.

Iba said last month that she was planning to submit criminal complaints against the IOC in the United States, France and Switzerland.

Shakur Stevenson and William Zepeda set on July 12

Published

By: Sean Crose

“Zepeda vs Shakur is turned on !!!!!!” Promoter Oscar de la Hoya published on social media on Thursday evening. “Checkmate”, wrote Shakur Stevenson himself. Receiving this information straight from the sources makes it quite a secure plant, that WBC World Lightweight Champion Stevenson will actually fight this airy league of divisions, Zepedy in the near future. Ring Magazine reports that the high fight is to stay in Fresh York on July 12. 33-0 Zepeda has just emerged from a close fight against the inexplicably underrated Farmer Tevin. On the other hand, Stevenson has recently seen the destruction of Josh Padley in February.

This is an engaging fight in which Stevenson will finally adapt to a high -quality warrior. Although the extremely qualified compatriot from Newark will be rightly privileged to win, Zepeda is nothing if an impressive opponent. Although a few weeks ago he was gritty against the farmer, at this point it would be unreasonably to announce the underestimated. Fighting behind the powerful stab of Southpaw, Zepeda can exert a global level pressure. It also has a powerful defense of high guard and has thunder of power. Copies of opponents like wood.

However, Stevenson is probably in its own league. Having speed, expert leg work and liquidity, a man is undoubtedly one of the best practitioners in the game. The problem for Stevenson is that his style is not fans -friendly – at least not so much. Like Guillermo Rigondeaux in front of him, Stevenson is a chess champion in the era in which fans prefer the checkers. This is not a knock on fans. Certainly Stevenson is far from the most stimulating warrior in the world. A high -class opponent can make the situation intense in the ring and very amusing outside the ring.

For Stevenson, the fight is an opportunity for him to show the world how dominant. For Zepeda it is nothing else that life. It may not be a choice, but it’s definitely worth seeing. No man stands here in a dress. This is a justified fight for the title. What’s more, it is a fight for a title that will provide every warrior with positive attention. Boxer-Slugger fights have a built-in charm, and this fight, provided that it is signed, should not be an exception. This may turn out to be one of the better fights of the year.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. He is the right opponent of Jake Paul

Published

on

After it was not possible to land with the hits with Canelo Alvarez and Gervont “Tank” Davis, Jake Paul decided to face the former world champion when he enters the ring with Julio Emperor Chavez Jr. On June 28 at the Honda Center, Anaheim, California.

Leaving the record boxing event, during which Paul defeated 58-year-old former heavyweight master Mike Tyson by a unanimous decision, YouTuber Pressed Privefighter was looking for Canelo, one of the greatest names of this sport.

Instead, he will have to settle for one of Canelo’s victims. 39 -year -old Chavez, former Middle WBC master, who in the last few years dealt with personal problems, including inactivity, problems related to weight and unsuccessful drug test.

“I just defeated the youngest man on the planet, and now I am fighting the former master whom Conman Canelo could not finish,” said Paul in a statement to ESPN on Friday.

Although Chavez is 8-6 years antique since 2012, he still bears the value of the name as the son of the boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez and a step in the Paul competition, taking into account his boxing.

Some moan because Paul stands in the face of another former master. However, this is a logical step in Paul’s boxing career, who became a professional in 2020 with one of one amateur fight. While people got stuck on the name of Paweł, in fact there is no experience of their contemporaries, and if he followed the regular path for youthful boxers, at this stage of his career he would be adapted to even less opposition.

Paweł’s popularity was Yin and Yang of his boxing career, which puts him publicly with control every time he announces the fight. The expectations of fighting a “real boxer” are often illogical, considering that the term “real boxer” actually means an experienced warrior who would defeat him.

This is not how boxing works.

Paweł’s opponents must achieve a slight balance between the quality name, which can sell tickets and a broader appeal, and the level of experience and/or current ability that suits him. What is happening is that we get Paweł against inexperienced warriors who lack skills or fighters with excessive situation with deteriorating ability. Chavez certainly falls into the latter. However, Chavez’s power was undeniable, even if his involvement in the training was at best doubtful. Even when 40 closes, Chavez can still fight and has a solid chin and has a criminal left hook. If he devotes himself to a full camp, instead of earning a check, a Mexican can be a powerful opponent who creates a constant sense of danger and good defense enough to prevent Paweł from landing the right right, which took out many of his previous opponents.

For divine love, he better hopes that the motivated Chavez appeared in the ring on June 28 and gives him a fight. He may not silence all Naysayers, but he will aid him grow as a warrior. If not, and Chavez clearly appears out of shape, criticism deserves rain from every angle.

Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KO) has a return on May 2, against Rolando “Rolly” Romero (16-2, 13 Kos) in the historical fight in Times Square. Garcia returns from his year -round suspension for positive testing of drug ostarin that improves performance in the fight against Devin Haney. He had time to improve mentally and physically, and during the Thursday open media training at the BXNG club in San Diego, California, he showed his very improved boxing skills.

Known for his power and the deadly left hook, Garcia showed better skills, which would make him a better general boxer. He showed much better leg work and better ability to enjoy angles. In his time away from the ring, Ryan briefly worked with his venerable coach, Eddy Reynoso, but eventually returned to the coach with whom he was in the last two fights, Derrick James.

Their goal is to be boxers who can also fight inside and a box outside. Against the blow of such as Rolando, it seems that their strategy will be more outside. James said about Ryan Garcia fighting in the middle: “Don’t worry about it. When I say not to worry about it. I say that this will not be a problem. Fight in fights are something that is always possible. We must also control it.

The ability to adapt and tactical change makes Garcia a more challenging opponent for everyone. Ryan and James Feel Rolly are a tough opponent and were preparing for a challenging match. Garcia said about his upcoming duel: “I just have to take advantage of my coach’s advice. He likes to keep everything low, but we are prepared for what Rolando will bring. We don’t expect an uncomplicated fight. He is power, and he will try to knock me out and make the fight be abrasive. I just have to be well conditioned and have a good game plan.”

Rolly’s last match was against Manuel Jaims in September last year, whom he defeated by a unanimous decision on the Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga card. Before this match, he lost his WBA Super Lightweight championship with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz through the technical knockout of the 8th round. Romero was extremely serene for Fresh York and Los Angeles and it seems to be fully focused

In this fight. He has a 2-2 record in his last four matches and needs a huge victory against the best pretender, such as Ryan, to restore him to the winning path.

The cooperation of the coefficient of this epic Ring magazine card will also include the return of Devin Haney to the ring against Jose Ramirez. If both Garcia and Haney won, they set a match between these two, which is forecast as an October match in Saudi Arabia. There is a lot of interest in how both warriors will work after what happened between two April last year. Today we took a look at Ryan, and he is significantly improved.
