Boxing-AIBA plan for pros in Rio is farcical, says Briton Smith (Reuters)
A proposal to allow established professional boxers to compete in the Olympic Games in Rio this year is farcical, one of Britain’s leading boxing administrators said. Ching-Kuo Wu, head of the International Boxing Association (AIBA), said on Wednesday he wanted to see top-ranked pros like Floyd Mayweather competing for gold medals, possibly as soon as this year. The AIBA organises the Olympic boxing matches.
