TOKYO - The International Olympic Committee has said Jordan will host the 2020 Olympics boxing qualifiers for Asia and Oceania after an event in China's Wuhan was cancelled due to fears over the new flu-like coronavirus.

The IOC said in a statement on Friday that the qualification event would take place in Amman from March 3 to 11. Preparations for the boxing tournament at the Tokyo Olympic have already been upended after the IOC in June took over the competition and suspended the international boxing federation due to issues with its finances and governance.
