Professional boxers are closing in on the chance to fight in the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, with the final obstructions to the major policy change set to be removed in the coming months.
That's according to AIBA president Dr. Ching-Kuo Wu, who told the Press Association (h/t ESPN.co.uk) his organisation believes it can push the necessary changes through in time for the 2016 Olympics:
We want the best boxers to come to the Olympic Games. It is AIBA's 70th birthday, and we want something to change -- not after four years, but now.
