The Olympic boxing qualifier for the Americas originally scheduled to start from May 10 to16 in Buenos Aires, Argentina has been cancelled.
The qualifier which was cancelled via a Zoom meeting cited health and safety concerns due to the pandemic as record cases of COVID-19 continues to surge in Argentina and worldwide. This is coupled with the fact that there have been tighter travel restrictions and lockdowns implemented across the Region affecting the ability of teams to get to the event.
As an alternative, the Boxing Task Force (BTF) has restructured a pathway to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, this summer via a ranking system.
