Sorry your wrong. The alphabet bodies are scared of a unified boxing organization. They are looking out for themselves.

What you say is true but the corrupt AIBA should never be allowed to become the single unified boxing organization.

Also, the Olympics have always been the highlight of a young amateur boxer's career. They shouldn't take that away from these kids by letting the pros in.
