LONDON – WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman expects professional boxing to return without spectators and with judges officiating by video from home.
Sulaiman said the World Boxing Council has produced a protocol for fights during the coronavirus pandemic that limit, for instance, a four-fight card to about 40-50 people at a venue.
Those numbers include one handler for each fighter, boxing commission supervisors, media and TV production crews. "The judges will be judging from home via access to the live video,” Sulaiman said by video conference this week. “The video we would have without commentary of the television network so it’s a clean international feed.
