The International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) is “optimistic” that boxing will still be part of the schedule at the 2028 games in Los Angeles following this year’s gender test controversy .

IOC spokesman Mark Adams was quizzed on the future of the sport during a press conference on Friday (2 August).

Mr Adams said: “We sincerely hope that boxing will be on the programme for 2028. It’s a sport, not just a good sport to watch, its also a sport that does an awful lot in terms of socially deprived areas and socially deprived people.

“I am very optimistic and the will is there.”
