In a fight for the loyalty of national boxing federations, India has joined the IOC’s side in its ongoing dispute with the sport’s global governing body. India's boxing body says it has split from the International Boxing Association and joined rival body World Boxing instead.

The IOC quickly responded Wednesday by giving national boxing federations an ultimatum — saying that countries who stay loyal to the IBA will see their boxers barred from the L.A. Olympics in 2028. India’s boxing president Ajay Singh said the federation he leads wants to be “at the forefront of the formation and hosting of a new Asian confederation,” and help recruit others to join World Boxing.The IBA paid women gold medalists in India $100,000 in prize money, $50,000 to silver medalists and $25,000 for bronze medalists. It has promised to pay gold medalists in Paris $50,000 each.
