LAUSANNE, Switzerland: The International Olympic Committee on Wednesday thrashed out the plan for the boxing qualification and competition for next year's Tokyo 2020 Olympics as it looks to run them without the suspended international boxing federation AIBA.
The IOC Executive Board on Wednesday finalised weight categories for the Tokyo Games as well as the qualification system. There will be four regional qualifiers to be staged between January and April next year while Japan, as hosts, will have the opportunity to directly qualify four men and two women."To allow the athletes a second chance to qualify for Tokyo we will have a final Olympic qualifying event probably in May next year," IOC sports director Kit McConnell told a news conference.
The IOC has set up a task force headed by Japanese IOC member Morinari Watanabe, head of the international gymnastics federation, to organise qualifiers and the Tokyo Games competition.
