Dear Team Delegation,
On behalf of the IOC Boxing Task Force, it is my pleasure to share with you the Team Delegations’ Handbook for the European Boxing Road to Tokyo – London event. Held in one of the great cities of the United Kingdom, this is the third of the five Olympic Boxing Qualifying Events that will see boxers earn places at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. We are very grateful to the city of London and the Local Organising Committee for doing a tremendous job in guaranteeing that athletes and teams will be able to compete and experience the event in the best environment possible. We look forward to seeing you in London, where 77 athletes (50 men and 27 women) will qualify for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and we expect to see the highest levels of boxing and fair play. The excitement around the event is already high, and I am looking forward to a friendly yet very competitive atmosphere that symbolises what boxing is all about. The IOC Boxing Task Force is working hard to ensure a fair qualification pathway to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, with the boxers at the centre of all our efforts. For this, we would like to remind everyone that the wellbeing of the sport depends on the athletes’ positive interaction and the boxing community coming together. We are here to serve boxing and work together for the future of the sport. Thank you for your support. I wish you the best of luck with your preparations for London!
See you soon,
Morinari WatanabeChair, IOC Boxing Task Force
Welcome

Dear friends,
On behalf of GB Boxing, we would like to welcome all the boxers, coaches and team officials to London, Great Britain, for the Boxing Road to Tokyo European Olympic Qualifying Event from 14 to 24 March 2020. We are honoured to have been entrusted with this responsibility by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and we will endeavour to repay the trust placed in us.
London is a global city that needs no introduction. As the host of the 2012 Olympic Games, the city put on the greatest festival of sport this country has witnessed. The boxing competition in particular was a highlight of the 2012 Games, with a series of outstanding champions and of course the first ever women’s Olympic boxing competition. In hosting this Qualifying Event, London and Great Britain will again aim to show that it can provide the best possible stage for the world’s best boxers to showcase their talents. Additionally, we hope that all team members will have the opportunity to experience some of the history and contemporary culture for which London is so famous.
UK Sport, the Mayor of London, the London Legacy Development Corporation, Greater London Leisure, the British Olympic Association and GB Boxing will work together to deliver a world class and successful Olympic Qualifying Event for boxing, providing the very best environment for the boxers to compete in. We would like to wish the boxers and the teams our very best wishes in their pursuit of success in London and at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Yours in sport,
Steven EsomChair, GB Boxing

3. Competition Format a. Event Regulations
In line with the mandate of primarily delivering the Olympic Boxing Qualifying Events and the boxing tournament at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and considering the proximity to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the IOC Boxing Task Force has considered it appropriate to refer to the existing AIBA Technical & Competition Rules (the “AIBA Rules”) to the extent that these rules are relevant for the Olympic Boxing Qualifying Events and the boxing tournament at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and to complement the AIBA Rules with specific amendments only as and where necessary and/or adequate in this context. In the interest of sporting fairness, the IOC Boxing Task Force has endeavoured to restrict the amendments to those that increase transparency and credibility while limiting their impact on the actual sport practice for the Boxers. Accordingly, the AIBA Rules, effective as of 9 February 2019 and as amended by the IOC Boxing Task Force Amendments (together the “BTF Event Regulations”), shall constitute the IOC Boxing Task Force Event Regulations, applicable at the Olympic Boxing Qualifying Events and the boxing tournament at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
• Seedings will be in place for the Official Draw, conducted in accordance with the IOC Boxing Task Force rankings and taking past competition performances into consideration.
• The Official Draw will be conducted by Swiss Timing through an electronic random draw for all non-seeded Boxers. • Two rings will be used for part of the competition, with the transition from two rings to one ring taking place following the
afternoon session on Friday 20 March. • Medals will be distributed to the top four (4) boxers of each weight category (1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze).
b. Competition Officials All officials will be reviewed to ensure they meet the selection criteria in areas including but not limited to experience levels, certifications and historical performances. In addition, all Technical Delegates, International Technical Officials and Referees & Judges must be AIBA-certified individuals according to their roles. Additional information can be found in the Boxing Technical Officials Selection Process document, available at olympic.org.
