PARIS : The International Olympic Committee will make a decision as early as possible on whether boxing and weightlifting will be at the Paris 2024 Games, president Thomas Bach said on Thursday.

"We are quite concerned because in these two federations there are problems of good governance and that is why we are currently monitoring them very closely," Bach told French sports daily L'Equipe.Both sports have been struggling with governance problems and their participation in the next Summer Games is hanging in the balance.
