I don't like professional boxers competing at the Olympics.

Seasoned elite pros aren't going to go to the Olympics and fight for free, but boxing is back in the Olympics for 2028. So the sport is safe for now but, beyond that ? Well, the IOC will have to find another federation that it can be recognized to run the amateur game worldwide. AIBA (the world governing body) for amateur boxing, will be officially thrown out of the Olympic movement.

If the day came when boxing (regarded by the Greeks as the most important event at the games between 775 BCE and AD 393) was eliminated from the games; to make more room for things like breakdancing, Synchronized Swimming, Beach Volleyball we could have expected Zues to rise up and curse the IOC to hell.
