Five countries handed Rio 2016 boxing berths by Olympic Tripartite Commission

Athletes from Fiji, Jordan, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Zambia will be present among the 250 male boxers who are due to compete at the Games following a decision made by the Olympic Tripartite Commission.

Featuring input from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) and the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF), the Commission is designed to provide smaller National Olympic Committees (NOCs) with the opportunity to compete at Olympic Games.
