Umar Kremlev Umar Kremlev has drawn a line in the sand. The International Boxing Association president announced this week that if the International Olympic Committee does not revise its policy on athlete compensation ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games, the IBA will once again award prize money to Olympic boxers. Kremlev made a similar move for the Paris 2024 Olympics, when the IBA distributed more than $3 million to medalists and select finalists.
