From yesterday
The International Boxing Association (AIBA) has still yet to announce the list of professional boxers that will compete at the World Series of Boxing (WSB)/AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) Olympic Qualification Tournament in Vargas, despite the event being due to start in just two days' time.
Following a historic ruling, passed unanimously at AIBA’s Extraordinary Congress in Lausanne on June 1, National Federations will be able to register all non-AIBA professional boxers for the tournament according to the criteria for registration of professional boxers.
An AIBA spokesman told insidethegames last month that the names of boxers competing would be announced by the international governing body on June 23, which was the closing date for entries.
It has now been confirmed, however, that the definite list won’t be announced until after tomorrow’s draw in the Venezuelan state, where 26 quota places for this year’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will be up for grabs over six days of competition.
