Boxing is in, qualies next year, but organised by IOC's special comission with FIS's Morinari Watanabe as a head of project. AIBA is suspended. And this is the best decision they could make I think. Dumping boxing one year before OG would not be fair for athletes, but neither letting AIBA organise it.
