As the 2020 Tokyo Olympics draws nearer, the National Boxing Team has made it mandatory for all players, sparring partners and members of the technical bench to undergo Covid-19 testing every 96 hours.

The measures have been taken to eliminate the possibilities of dropping any player at the eleventh hour on health setbacks with only six weeks to the games.
