World Boxing body promises clean up of corrupt practices
More than 10 bouts in the 2016 Rio Olympics boxing competition were manipulated for “money” and other “perceived benefits”, an independent investigation has revealed, prompting the International Boxing Association (AIBA) to promise a “tough” selection process for referees and judges at the upcoming men’s World championship.
The first phase report of the McLaren Global Sport Solutions’ independent investigation into boxing, which was accessed by PTI, has been handed to AIBA and revealed that “a system for the manipulation of bouts by officials existed at Rio”.
