Boxing is Back at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics! 🥊

Hey future champions! Exciting news just dropped from the world of sports. Boxing, one of the oldest Olympic sports, is officially back on the roster for the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics! 🎉

The International Olympic Committee (that’s the IOC for short 😉) voted unanimously to bring boxing back, ending years of uncertainty about its future in the Games.

Why is this such a big deal? Well, boxing had been facing some challenges lately. But thanks to a new group called World Boxing, things are looking up! 🌟 They started in 2023 and already have over 80 countries involved. That’s a lot of boxers ready to show their skills! 🥊

Thomas Bach, the President of the IOC, said, “I thank you for the approval of having boxing back. We can look forward to a great boxing tournament.”

Boris van der Vorst, the President of World Boxing, was super happy too. He said, “This is a great day for boxers, boxing, and everyone connected with our sport at every level across the world.”

Remember, if you’re dreaming of being an Olympic boxer, make sure your country’s boxing group is part of World Boxing before the qualification events start! Who knows? Maybe we’ll see you in the ring at the Los Angeles Olympics! 🥇

So, grab your gloves and keep training. The future of boxing is bright, and it’s heading straight to Los Angeles in 2028! ✨
