World Boxing Reinstates Russian Boxers Under National Flag

World Boxing, the group that runs international boxing, decided that Russian boxers can now wear their flag when they fight.

Before, they had to compete as neutral athletes.

The decision was made by the executive committee on Thursday.

The group will watch the Russian teams closely to make sure they follow the rules about doping.

This change comes after the International Olympic Committee said it would let Russian athletes compete again.

It shows that Russia is being welcomed back into many sports.

The move is a step toward the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The new rule means Russian boxers can compete like any other country’s boxers.

The decision also means the Russian Olympic Committee is no longer suspended.

The change is part of a bigger trend of Russian and Belarusian athletes returning to international sports.
