Former world champion Carl Frampton and a number of other high-profile fighters have criticised the decision to allow professionals to box at the Olympics.

The International Boxing Association (AIBA) voted for the rule change before the Rio Games, which start on 5 August.

Northern Irishman Frampton said amateur and pro boxing were "two different sports".


The British Boxing Board of Control called on AIBA to "reconsider" its decision, saying it was "dangerous".

In a statement it said: "It is against the spirit of the Olympics, disrespectful to the many GB amateur boxers who, throughout the Olympic cycle compete around the world in qualifying tournaments."

Newly-crowned WBC world cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew also said the move was "dangerous".

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "To fight a guy with no professional experience is insane. I just can't see what there is to be gained. It's wrong to even suggest it, never mind put it in place."

The 33-year-old added that the Olympic event would be "tarnished" if a pro boxer won it.

"It wouldn't really be an Olympic gold medal," said Bellew.

"A professional winning an Olympic medal is wrong on so many levels. No-one in boxing in my opinion would take them seriously if they won the gold medal."
