Next month's Boxing All Japan Championship will be canceled Impact of the new Corona October 26, 19:28

The Japan Boxing Federation has decided to cancel the "All Japan Championship" scheduled to be held in Tokyo next month due to the influence of the new coronavirus.

The All Japan Boxing Championship is the tournament that decides the best amateur in Japan.



The Japan Amateur Boxing Federation has planned to hold the 90th tournament for boys and the 19th tournament for girls in Sumida Ward, Tokyo from the 2nd to the 5th of next month.



However, as a result of repeated discussions with the Japan Boxing Federation, it was decided to cancel by the 26th because it would be difficult to hold the tournament on multiple dates as the infection with the new coronavirus continues.



The Japan Amateur Boxing Federation said, "We have decided to cancel in consideration of the safety of athletes, leaders, and tournament management staff. Unfortunately, we would like to ask for your understanding in consideration of the current severe situation."
