The looming threat of an Olympic expulsion has ended for Indian boxers after the International Boxing Association, AIBA, agreed to extend the deadline for formation of the proposed new federation. The AIBA had earlier set a May 14 deadline for the formation of the Boxing Federation of India, but has agreed "in principle" to extend it given the logistics involved. The association has not given any specific fresh deadline but assured that boxers will not be stopped from competing in the Olympics. The AIBA had earlier declared that it would bar Indian boxers from the Olympics if a new national body does not take shape by May 14. Only one Indian boxer- Shiva Thapa has qualified for Rio Olympics so far with two more qualifying events, one each for men and women, still to go.
