In reply to the discussion: Boxer previously barred from women's events wins fight after opponent quits in 46 seconds [View all]ShazzieB
(18,212 posts)39. Thanks for this link.
This one paragraph says volumes, imo:
The IBA was recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the international governing body for the sport of boxing until 2019, when the IOC suspended its recognition of the federation; in 2023, the IOC formally stripped the IBA of its status, becoming the first international federation to ever be expelled from the Olympic movement. The IOC's decision was upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2024.
In other words, IBA's opinion ain't worth shit!

I'm fine with IOC decision. It's a shame, but hate/bigotry will increase if she keeps winning.

If the loser doesn't want her face beaten to a pulp, perhaps she should play something like checkers instead of boxing.
