Why are the individual finals already set? No Americans?

[mike222]

The WSB decides its finalists on a points basis,points awarded per win therefore the boxers who have won most bouts qualify for the finals.Tough on the likes of Raushee Warren who won all of his four bouts but the two finalists both won five times.David Imoesiri also won four times without loss amongst others.Not very logical.

With some winners possibly not being their country's #1, it will be interesting to see what happens. It is 187 not 175.

It is possible that the two bantam boxers could meet up in the Team Championships Finals.

What will the WSB do if a boxer scheduled to compete in the Individual Championships is injured during the Team Championships or during training?
