Paris to stage rescheduled Tokyo 2020 European boxing qualifier Wednesday, 3 March 2021 Paris has been chosen to stage the rearranged European boxing qualifier for the postponed Olympic Games in Tokyo. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Boxing Task Force (BTF), which is organising the qualifiers, confirmed the French capital had replaced London as the host city for the event. The BTF said it had selected Paris "as part of its initial commitment to organise its events in the host countries of recent or upcoming Olympic Games, and because of the opportunity to continue to benefit from its already established relationship with the Local Organising Committee, which was originally entrusted to organise the now-cancelled final world qualifier".
