BBC SportThe decision to allow professional boxers to compete at the Olympics has been criticised by Shropshire's Richie Woodhall - who won bronze at the 1988 games.
He thinks the move is to "make the sport more attractive" and that the Olympics should be a place for up-and-coming boxers to launch their careers.
Image source, Getty ImagesBut Woodhall, who turned pro to win the WBC super middleweight title, doubts the biggest stars will take part, saying the qualification process will probably put them off.
Quote MessageI think amateur and professional boxing are two totally separate sports. To bring professionals into an amateur Olympic setup is wrong. Traditionally it's always been a sport to spring launch athletes into a professional career."

The Food and Agriculture Organization have declared today World Milk Day, external and Mr Sadler, who has been producing A2 milk for the last four years, claims it has cleared up his eczema.
But some scientists in Australia say the claims over its health benefits are exaggerated.
Quote MessageI've had eczema all my life. Within three weeks of converting our herd to A2, my eczema disappeared. It was astonishing. I never would've believed in all the years that I've had eczema that it was linked to a dairy intolerance, but it was."
