Keyshawn Davis, Duke Ragan and Troy Isley are set to become the first outright professional boxers to compete for the U.S. at the Olympics, according to Olympic historians.
Davis, Ragan and Isley, who all turned professional during the pandemic, were added to the U.S. Olympic boxing team via international allocations, four weeks after the first six boxers were named.
A North and South American Olympic qualifying tournament, scheduled for Buenos Aires in May, was canceled due to the pandemic. Davis, Ragan and Isley were not in line to compete in that qualifier after they turned pro.
