(MAY 1) Just 463 days to the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio and today comes news from the International Boxing Association (AIBA) of the final qualification details including deadlines:

July 18 2016 – Rio 2016 sport entries deadline (by NOCs)

NOC = National Olympic Committee

Anyone requiring tickets (all events) or full information regarding the schedule of events (all sports) check here: (official ticketing site) Link 

Boxers and their family & supporters should also check with their own National Federation just in case your country is organising any
Special rates or tours for its members – no guarantee but worth checking.

There are also fully authorised (by Rio 2016) Ticket Resellers in many countries so another avenue to explore if you are planning to attend  Link

AIBA letter to National Boxing Federations (all countries) Link

As we know – and though it is painful to have to repeat it again and again - there will be but the three women’s weight divisions as in London 2012. Be assured that WBAN will continue to fight the good fight until true equality is achieved and then – and only then - can the IOC and AIBA truthfully say they have met their obligations as outlined in the Olympic Charter and Olympic Oath.

Both organisations received our invitation to put forward their proposals for the future of women’s boxing inc the ‘weights’ issue but thus far no response.

Sad but hardly a surprise. It would, we must admit,be difficult for any organisation to put forward a detailed response 'defending the indefensible'
