The world’s boxers have two shots at qualifying for the 32nd Olympiad.

The first tilt (for Europeans) begins at the Copper Box Arena in London next March.

The final World qualifier will be hosted in Paris next May.

“The qualification events represent a fair and transparent pathway to the Olympic Games with equal opportunities for all National Olympic Committees,” said Boxing Task Force Chair and IOC Member Mr Morinari Watanabe.

The final breakdown for Paris is contingent on which weights Japan takes its six – 4 for men and two for women – in.

Two hundred and eighty-six boxers – 186 males and 100 females – will battle it out in Tokyo.
