With the International Olympic Committee deciding to scrap the Olympic world qualifiers for boxing because of the challenges posed by the global Covid-19 restrictions, India is unlikely to add to the unprecedented nine who have made the cut for the Tokyo Games in July-August, reported PTI.
The final global boxing qualifier for the Tokyo Olympics is being scrapped, the Japan Boxing Federation said Tuesday, with places at this summer’s pandemic-delayed Games likely to be determined by rankings.
The qualifier was due to take place in Paris in June, but coronavirus travel restrictions and the rescheduling of the final European qualifier from April to June have forced organisers to pull the plug, AFP reported.
