The International Boxing Association’s (AIBA) executive committee announced their plans this week to petition the International Olympic Committee to have female boxing included in the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Since women’s wrestling was added in the 2004 Athens Olympics, boxing is the only summer Olympic sport without a female division.
The AIBA has approved and governed women’s boxing since 1994, and says the standard of women boxing has grown to a very high level and is ready for Olympic inclusion.
