Carmine Tommasone made boxing history when he became the first fully professional fighter to compete in the Olympics on Saturday, winning his opening bout against an amateur from Mexico. Tommasone, a 32-year-old lightweight from Italy, is competing after AIBA, the sport's governing body, made a constitutional change in June that ended 112 years of amateur exclusivity at the Games. "The Olympics is the top dream of any athlete," said Tommasone.
