Pot, Kettle.

More like Olympic boxing is a bit tired.  How about Olympic MMA?

Is it just me or does anyone else feel they haven’t learned a darn thing after reading this.

I also found out this week that the coming Monday holiday, sports day, was the day of the opening ceremony for the Tokyo 64 olympics. “What?!” I said. But it’s October. Just wondering if anyone has any info on why they didn’t/couldn’t do this on 2020?

Keep boxing as an olympic sport, ban the AIBA. An independent organisation (named and/or approved by the IOC) could run the Olympic boxing tourney.

Ninja Warrior debuting in the Tokyo Olympics will be a very welcome news than boxing!

I bet it'll be a top crowd drawer than boxing too !

Clean fun and a test of skills, strength, stamina and technique minus the physical violence and possible brain damage or even death that is associated with boxing!

C'mom PM Abe! Make Ninja Warrior at least an exhibition Olympic event!

I believe it so that it doesn't interfer with the sports that fill the schedules in America and the EU and lower TV ratings.

Boxing is a very murky sport behind the scenes with far poorer governance than other sports. So this is hardly surprising.
