Governing body wants rules ready for Brazil tournamentInvestigation sparked by row at Paris Olympics
World Boxing has reached “an advanced stage” of its investigation into the gender eligibility row that blighted the sport at the Olympic Games last year, and expects to announce its findings in a matter of “weeks rather than months”.
Boris van der Vorst, the president of boxing’s governing body that was given a green light on Monday to run the Olympic competition at Los Angeles 2028, said: “There’s no specific timeline, but I expect it within two or three weeks. We want to have it before our next competition in Brazil.” Van der Vorst said all recommendations would need approval by him and the WB board.
