Roberts stated, "We continue to see a bright future. We have a really good financial package behind us. I think this myth about the boxing not being in the 2028 Olympics is just another shift to try and get people to jump camp to another boxing federation." He emphasized that the boxing will definitely be featured at the next Olympics, mitigating concerns raised by the IOC’s withdrawal of recognition.
The IBA chief executive mentioned, "There are some negotiations happening already. The IBA has a lot of friends in the IOC. Let's say, 'Bye bye' to Thomas Bach. Thank you very much, go retire somewhere." Roberts highlighted ongoing discussions with IOC officials and underscored their positive relationships despite prior clashes.
