From talking to people involved in boxing, I have learned the consensus seems to be that, for the next 37 weeks leading up to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, what has occurred will not have the impact that some people might believe it will have. It is the period after the Olympic Games that many people are worried about.
Obviously, the delegates have been involved in boxing all their lives. Did Mr. Keegan resign? This has not been answered. He was refused access to the boxers by the IABA. If I am involved the GAA, I know what is going down in every county. What is the story? The story proceeds from Mr. Keegan to Mr. O'Rourke. Did Mr. O'Rourke get a job?
