The 2023 IBA World Boxing Championships are held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan from 30 April to 14 May 2023. Athletes from all five continents take part in the championship. Boxers compete for medals in 13 weight categories, which were approved by the Board of Directors of the International Amateur Boxing Association (IBA) in July 2021. [1] [2]
Gold medallists are to receive $200,000, with silver medallists receiving the previous champion's purse of $100,000 and bronze medallists taking home $50,000. [3] Prize money was introduced for the 2021 Men's World Championships and 2022 Women's World Championships as an incentive for boxers to be rewarded at the highest level of the amateur sport. [4]
In June 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) barred the International Boxing Association's (IBA) rights to run and organize the tournament due to "continuing irregularity issues in the areas of finance, governance, ethics, refereeing, and judging". [5] Hence, the IOC executive board established and ratified a new qualification system for Paris 2024 that would witness the boxers obtain the quota spots through the continental multisport events, reducing the complexity of the process. The qualification period commences at five regional multisport events in the middle of the 2023 season (2023 African Games in Accra, Ghana; 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China; 2023 European Games in Poland; 2023 Pacific Games in Honiara, Solomon Islands; and the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile), set to be served as continental qualifying meets, where a total of 139 spots will be assigned to a specific number of highest-ranked boxers in each weight category. For these reasons, this tournament does not give a quota for the Olympic Games. [6] [7]
