There were actually five pros in the Olympics. At the last Qualifier in Venezuela there were 23 pros who tried but only three qualified; Ruenroeng, Tommasone and Njikam. Also, Mathieu Bauderlique and David Graf who had joined the APB were already qualified. Khedafi Djelkhir, France (16-0, 12 KO´s) had also qualified via APB but he desisted from participating due to poor support from the french federation.greg wrote:..any statistics showing how many professional boxers took part in the Olympics?.. anyone reached (semi)finals? got medals?
