According to usa, boxing, the extra months allowed by the postponement of the event allowed time to develop their back to boxing training and competition protocols in collaboration with the united states, olympic and paralympic committees, sports medicine, department, usa boxes, medical advisory board and louisiana state university.
School of sports medicine quote: we knew that they were going to there weren’t going to be a lot of spectators, but still 1400 plus athletes coming with all their coaches.
