The International Boxing Association (Iba Boxing) is the umbrella organization of all national boxing organizations worldwide. It is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and administers all aspects of boxing sport globally. 157 countries are affiliated with the Iba Boxing after seven national federations were added at the 2008 Iba Boxing Congress in Rome.
In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Iba Boxing suspended athletes from Russia and Belarus from competing at any International Boxing Association events, and suspended all officials from these countries from officiating at any event sanctioned by the Iba Boxing, as well as from attending or participating in any Iba Boxing meetings, committees, and forums. In March 2023, the Russian Boxing Federation sent a letter addressing the Iba Boxing and urging them to reverse the decision and allow Russian athletes to compete in Iba Boxing events. The RBF's statement included claims that the war was actually started by Ukraine and that 'Russia defends peace'. In May 2023, the International Boxing Association reinstated Russian and Belarusian athletes, shortly after a Russian missile attack forced the cancellation of a boxing event in Ukraine.
