  • 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. Boxing qualification events for the Games are being organised by a special taskforce formed after the IOC stripped the International Boxing Association of its right to run the sport at the Olympics. The decision in June 2019 came after an investigation into alleged serious mismanagement at boxing's crisis-ridden ruling authority. Qualification from the final world event is now likely to be decided by rankings created by the task force, depriving some boxers of their chance to fight for a place at the postponed 2020 Games. Japan Boxing Federation spokeswoman Mayumi Imaeda told AFP that the body was informed of the move on Tuesday. "Athletes from some countries can travel to Paris but not from others, so it's unfair," she said. "The athletes have to come first, and they have to be safe and secure. It also has to be open and honest. The athletes have to be treated equally." Qualification for the Games was supposed to be split between four continents, with a further final global qualifier taking place in Paris in June. The International Olympic Committee appointed Morinari Watanabe, an IOC member from Japan and president of the International Gymnastic Federation, to run the taskforce to organise qualification and the event itself at the Games. amk/kaf/jfx
