Special CGF taskforce set to organise Birmingham 2022 boxing tournament Thursday, 18 February 2021 A special taskforce is set to be established to oversee the boxing tournament at next year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Boxing is a core sport of the Commonwealth Games and has featured in every edition since the first British Empire Games at Hamilton in Canada in 1930. The International Boxing Association (AIBA), which was founded in 1946, has helped organise the tournament since Auckland 1950. But, following its suspension by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) because of claims of mismanagement and corruption in June 2019, there are doubts over whether it has the authority to be in charge of the event at Birmingham 2022.
