IBF drops two Olympians from their rankings

The IBF is true to their word when they talk about dropping pros who try out for the Olympics from their rankings.   


Former IBF flyweight world champion Amnat Ruenroeng (17-1, 5 KOs), and former WBO interim middleweight champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (33-2, 19 KOs), have been dropped from the IBF rankings.  They will be removed for one year for violating IBF Rule 5 which reads:

“A Champion and Challenger must at all times set high ideals and act in a sportsmanlike manner. Any action by a Champion, Challenger promoter, manager or cornerman which reflects poorly on the IBF/USBA or the sport of boxing will subject the contestant to the imposition of discipline and penalties.”

Those two better win Gold or this will be all for nothing.
