July 30 (Reuters) - Russian ⁠boxers will be allowed to compete under their ⁠national flag in World Boxing events, the ‌sport's governing body said on Thursday, removing restrictions that had previously required them to participate as neutrals.

The decision was approved by ​World Boxing's executive committee at a ⁠meeting that also discussed ⁠the allocation of major international competitions for the 2027-29 ⁠cycle, ‌including qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

"The ExCo accepted that Russian athletes would ⁠now take part in World Boxing competitions like ​boxers from ‌any other national federation," World Boxing said in ⁠a statement.

While ​ending the neutral-status requirement, the governing body said it would "strictly monitor the behaviour of Russian delegations during events ⁠as well as compliance with the ​anti-doping protocols".

The move follows a recent easing of restrictions by the International Olympic Committee, which this month provisionally ⁠lifted its suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee, a step seen as bringing Russia closer to reintegration into the Olympic movement ahead of the Los Angeles ​Games.

The IOC's decision followed its December ⁠recommendation that international federations should readmit Russian and Belarusian ​athletes under the age of ‌23, signalling a broader trend ​towards reintegration in some sports.
