Professional boxers will compete at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics after the international boxing association AIBA approved a constitutional change on Wednesday, its president said. AIBA boss Ching-Kuo Wu said the change of the AIBA constitution was approved with 95 percent in favor, paving the way for professionals to fight for medals for the first time at the Olympics starting on Aug. 5. The move has also earned a lot of criticism as many argue it would be unfair to amateur boxers who have trained for the Games for years and who may now have to make way for the professionals.
