I was honoured to be invited to the National Olympic Committee of Mongolia, where its Secretary General and Mongolia's only boxing Olympic Champion, Enkhbatyn Badar-Uugan, awarded me the prestigious Olympic Glory medal for contributions to the Olympic Movement.

The fact that we all feel the excitement about the competition that will get underway in 10 days time is also a reminder of the precarious situation our sport faces. As things stand today, Paris 2024 could be the last ever Olympic Boxing tournament. WORLD BOXING was set up precisely to avoid this situation from happening, and its number one priority is to ensure boxing remains at the heart of the Olympic Movement. #TimeForWORLDBOXING #putitonencyclopedia

I believe that World Boxing and the Mongolian Boxing Federation will continue to srenghten our cooperation. Stay tuned as exciting news is coming soon.

These were high-profile events featuring Olympic medalists from Tokyo and top contenders for Paris 2024 medals. Congratulations to the Danish Boxing Association and the Brazilian Boxing Confederation for their efforts in developing Olympic-style boxing!

From October 25th to November 5th in the city of Pueblo, Colorado, men and women boxers aged 17 and 18 will compete across all 20 weight categories. We will definitely witness spectacular battles of the future boxing superstars. I would like to congratulate USA Boxing as well as to express my gratitude. I am certain that Chair Tyson Lee and his team will do everything to stage a world class event for the boxers and boxing fans across the globe. WORLD BOXING team is also eager to ensure a high quality delivery.

💪 The ultimate preparation in Paris This year I have made the choice to spend a lot of time around Paris in the last few months. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to train at the Olympic accommodation. Still, it has a lot of value to me. I have been training since the beginning of May at the National Training Centre INSEP of France 🇫🇷. In addition, it literally gives me a (topographical) threshold to get into my bubble. I can fully focus on gymnastics here.

This historic spectacle serves as a reminder of the power of creative collaboration, inspiring individuals to come together to create breath-taking events across the nations of Africa. Today, the African continent hosts fewer events. To rekindle the grandeur of such spectacles, it is essential for governments, sports organisations, and African corporations to collaborate, utilising their resources and influence to reposition Africa on the global stage

A historic evening awaits the Nederlandse Vechtsportbond (NVB), which deals with kickboxing, muaythai and mixed martial arts (mma). Members of NOC*NSF will vote tonight on the entry of the federation as an aspiring member of organized sports in the Netherlands. NVB chairman Peter Kwint explains why this is so important. "Rico Verhoeven has always had to arrange everything himself. Now we can develop our own top-level sports policy."

The 2nd World Olympic Boxing Qualifying Tournament is underway! 578 boxers from 132 countries are set to compete in Thailand for the remaining 51 Olympic quota places from May 24 until June 2. All eyes in the world of Olympic-style boxing will be on Bangkok over the next 10 days, where we expect to see over 500 extremely competitive bouts. It’s the last call for boxers who are dreaming of competing in Paris, so they have to leave everything in the ring and even more. Once again, my gratitude to the IOC and the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit for saving the Olympic Dreams of boxers for Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. I believe that for the next Olympics in LA28 it will be time for WORLD BOXING to take over! #Paris2024 #OlympicBoxing #putitonencyclopedia
