There’s about 43 professionals in the Tokyo Olympics this year, though only like 9 of those have more than 3 Pro fights

The rule changed in 2016 to allow it in Rio, only 3 pros competed then, but now a lot more are.

But it’s not like huge names or anything, like Lomachenko is Ukraine’s ‘ambassador’ or something instead of competing even though he’s got 2 gold already and he might very well win if he did.
