World Boxing is an international sports organization regulating amateur (Olympic-style) boxing. Formed on 13 April 2023, it currently consists of 106 member federations. It is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the international governing body for amateur boxing, and will sanction boxing at the Summer Olympics beginning in 2028.
The organisation was formed in response to ongoing governance and integrity issues facing the International Boxing Association which had resulted in its suspension—and later, expulsion—from the IOC. Its charter members were drawn from the "Common Cause Alliance"—a group of IBA members that had demanded transparency over the organisation's governance and finances amid the presidency of Umar Kremlev and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and campaigned for maintaining boxing as an Olympic sport. In February 2025, the IOC granted provisional recognition to World Boxing after meeting benchmarks for reach and integrity; the following month, the IOC approved the reinstatement of boxing on the Olympic programme.
