Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2020.

  • The Val Barker Cup, recognizing the most outstanding Olympic boxer, was not awarded at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. This was due to the International Olympic Committee's suspension of the International Boxing Association (AIBA).
  • The IOC's decision stemmed from concerns regarding AIBA's governance and judging issues. Consequently, the Boxing Task Force oversaw the Olympic boxing tournament, and the Val Barker Cup was withheld. Also it will not be awarded in the 2024 paris olympic games, due to the continuation of the suspension of the AIBA.
