Logo

I know very little regarding uploading images (and don't care to learn), so can somebody with experience update the logo? Cheers. – ².O.^Boxing 12:04, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Please reflect ..

On March 4, 2022, in reaction to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the IBA banned athletes from Russia and Belarus from competing in international competitions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:2143:8500:75CC:FA8E:D0EC:5CD (talk) 04:09, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Obvious bias

The complete lack of explanation as to why this organization isn't considered trustworthy by other sporting bodies comes across as embarrassingly biased. It's expulsion by the IOC is reduced to a sentence. 2607:FEA8:2901:4E00:3AE9:D16:E94D:583C (talk) 14:47, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes this is quite obviously a bias article, primarily of anti Russian origin. The IBA is clearly a boxing federation, many boxing federations are not part of the Olympics. The IBA hosted the world championships just last year. The IOC is not in charge of who is a federation. The WBA is a federation with no IOC links. At the end of the day, the IOC is only in charge of the Olympics themselves. Liger404 (talk) 21:50, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Consider adding details of chief exec

This isn't an article, sport or topic that interests me greatly, but I'm reading about today's (Friday 2 August 2024) controversy at the Paris Olympic boxing. A BBC article quotes the Chief Executive of the IBA (Chris Roberts). The WP article at present details the current and former presidents of the IBA. I wonder if it might be useful to include some details of the Chief Executives (past & present), since it looks to me like the Chief Exec is an important public face & spokesperson for the IBA organisation. From my limited exposure to the IBA (as of today), I get the impression that the fact that the organisation is based in Russia might be a pertinent factor in the sporting, social, cultural & political happenings of today, and of the past few years. Therefore I for one would be interested to read more about the key figures (i.e. the Chief Exec), their nationalities and their backgrounds. Flusapochterasumesch (talk) 17:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Terrible bias.

This article needs a full re write by someone who is not currently entrenched in West Vs Russian geopolitics. The suggestion that IBA is not a boxing federation anymore is absurd given they hosted the world championships last year and have agreements with well over 100 countries and many federations including the renowned WBA. Other comments like "linked to Putin" are completely out of place. This is a sports federation and making comments about them having completely unreferenced links to politicians the writer doesn't like is entirely inappropriate.
