Boxing should remain an Olympic sport. This is what the Bulgarian Boxing Federation wrote in a letter to the President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach. In the beginning of February this year the executive body of the International Olympic Committee decided to reconsider whether boxing should remain part of the Olympic movement and discuss whether this sport should be excluded from the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The Bulgarian Boxing Federation points out in its letter to Thomas Bach that boxing is one of the six sports which founded the modern Olympic movement and has been part of the Summer Olympics since 1904. Boxing is one of Bulgaria’s most successful sports and brought the country 18 medals from summer Olympics games, including 4 gold medals.
