Boxing: Moreno Fendero, the Olympic dream flown …

While he was aiming to secure his place for Tokyo via the world qualifying tournament, initially scheduled for 2020 and then postponed for a year, the BM Boxing member saw his chances fly away without even being able to defend them.

The event, which was to take place in the spring in Essonne, was quite simply canceled. The tickets will ultimately be awarded according to the world ranking, which almost automatically eliminates the 2018 French 75 kg champion from the race.

Pro before the 2024 Games …

“Unless there is a turnaround, his chances are almost zero,” said the DTN, Patrick Wincke at the end of February. The ranking has been established on major competitions since 2017 and Moreno (21) has reached the highest level recently. We are disappointed for him and also disappointed not to send a boxer in this category, when we had healthy competition. Moreno was instead scheduled for 2024, but he had the potential to qualify for Tokyo. It’s a shame. “

The puncher from Bangui, in the Central African Republic, will probably not wait until the Paris Games: his passage through the professional ranks is already in the pipeline.
