Boxing has been contested at every Summer Olympic Games since its introduction to the program at the 1904 Summer Olympics, except for the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, because Swedish law banned the sport at the time. The 2008 Summer Olympics were the final games with boxing as a male only event. Since the 2012 Summer Olympics, women's boxing is part of the program.
The International Boxing Association (IBA), previously known as the Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur (AIBA), is a Russian-dominated and Kremlin-backed sports organization that claims to sanction Olympic-style boxing matches and awards world and subordinate championships. However it is permanently banned from the Olympic Games, has no connection to the Olympics and its role as a sanctioning-body is not recognized by the Olympic movement. IBA consists of five continental confederations: AFBC, AMBC, ASBC, EUBC, and OCBC. The association includes officially 198 national boxing federations, a number actually debatable since the creation of the rival organisation World Boxing. It is led by Umar Kremlev, an ally of Vladimir Putin.
Inside the Games is an Olympic news website formerly edited by the British sports journalist Duncan Mackay. As of 2023, it was sold to a company known as Vox Europe Investment Holding Ltd.
