AIBA suspends Tunisian woman boxer Wided Younsi from the "World Boxing Championships" after it was established that she had participated in a professional boxing match - under AIBA rules, members who participate in pro boxing matches or box with non AIBA  Organizations automatically become illegible to participate in boxing under the AIBA banner.

The AIBA statement is reproduced below

Tunisian boxer Wided Younsi has been suspended and disqualified from the 6th AIBA Women's World Championships, which are currently being held in Barbados.

Younsi confessed that she had participated in a professional boxing match, but signed a written statement to confirm that the Tunisia boxing federation had not been aware of this.

Her victory over Ireland's Sinead Kavanagh at 75kg in the first round is therefore annulled, which means that Drimnagh-based Kavanagh, the Irish National Champion, will now face China's Li Jinzi in Wednesday's quarter-final.
