Big loss to India when boxing is out of Olympics, why did veteran tell IOC – it’s like committing a crime?

American boxing great Roy Jones Jr feels boxing’s exclusion from the Olympics will reduce hopes of countries like India “finding new stars” in the sport as budding boxers will have no direction to look forward to. . Boxing has been left out of the list of opening sports for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, a major setback for many countries and the decision has been taken due to several operational issues.

Jones, one of the most successful boxers of his generation, has written an open letter to International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach and the IOC Executive Committee, asking them to reiterate their decision to exclude boxing from earlier this month. Thoughts are requested.
