Boxing World Qualifiers for Tokyo cancelled
The International Olympic Committee Boxing Task Force (BTF) announced Monday via a virtual meeting that the World Qualifiers for the Tokyo Olympics has been canceled.
The BTF has taken over the function of organizing the boxing competitions in the Olympics after the International Boxing Association (AIBA) was suspended by the Olympic body in 2019. The suspension remains in effect.
The tournament was originally scheduled for May 2020 in Paris, France but was postponed for this year because of the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic.
