The IOC finally ran out of patience with the International Boxing Federation Wednesday and set a date to terminate its Olympic status this month.

While boxing will still be on the program at the 2024 Paris Games, the International Olympic Committee said its executive board has asked the full membership to withdraw its recognition of the IBA at a special meeting June 22.

IOC members rarely vote against recommendations from their 15-member board, and the IBA's ouster is likely a formality.

The IOC had already suspended the IBA's recognition in 2019 over long-standing financial, sports integrity and governance issues. The Olympic body oversaw the boxing competitions itself at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and will do so again for Paris.

An IOC statement said the boxing body "has failed to fulfill the conditions set by the IOC ... for lifting the suspension of the IBA’s recognition."

The IBA criticized what it called a "truly abhorrent and purely political" decision by the IOC and warned of "retaliatory measures."

"Now, we are left with no chance but to demand a fair assessment from a competent court," Umar Kremlev, the boxing body’s Russian president, said in a statement.
