IOC: Mediterranean games without savate?

Is savate Mediterranean sport? YES OF COURSE. THE MOST TYPICAL OF ALL fighting sports. But why we don't see savate - boxe francaise on Mediterranean games?
Karate was part of these games and wu-shu kung fu (was there enough Chinese influence in Mediterranean culture and sports last centuries?).

23 countries (near Mediterranean see)(San Marino, Monaco, Malta, Cyprus, Andorra...)

28 sports - (fighting: karate, judo, boxing, wrestling)

Savate Mediterranean games (not official ones) 2004, Toulouse, FRANCE
Issa Barhoumi (Tunisisa) vs Luka Habek (Croatia)
