Pro boxers for Games?
THE world’s best professional boxers could be eligible to compete in this year’s Olympics under proposals put forward by the sport’s governing body.
The International Boxing Association (AIBA) discussed a fast-track proposal to open Olympic tournaments to all boxers during its meetings in Manchester this week.
AIBA President Ching-Kuo Wu said the proposal could be ratified within months, potentially in time for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August.
“We want the best boxers to come to the Olympic Games,” Wu told Britain’s Press Association, adding that it was “absolutely possible” the changes could be made in time for the Rio Games. But with the qualifying process already well under way for the Rio field, a large influx of star professional boxers seems unlikely this year.
