It follows a unanimous vote by the International Olympic Committee

Boxing will be part of the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 following a unanimous vote by the International Olympic Committee.

Outgoing IOC President Thomas Bach says we can now 'look forward to a great tournament' in LA.

Irish clubs will vote on the IABA joining the new governing body World Boxing next month, with IBA affiliated boxers set to be ineligible for the next Olympics.

Boxing is Ireland's most successful sport in the history of the modern Olympics, accounting for more than half of the total medals won by the country.
