World Boxing has added China to its growing list of members. That means the breakaway body has reached another major goal in its quest to keep boxing in the Olympics. The governing body also announced the additions of the national federations of Turkey, Sudan, Greece, Slovakia and Montenegro. World Boxing now has 84 national federations among its membership. The Chinese Boxing Federation's decision to join is yet another positive sign for World Boxing, which received provisional recognition from the IOC last month as the new governing body for the sport ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
