The Olympic boxing qualifier in London, in which Azerbaijani athletes will also compete, will take place behind closed doors due to the coronavirus outbreak, Report says, citing the BBC.
The IOC Boxing Task Force (BTF) announced the decision an hour after the head of European boxing said he was "very concerned" the event was taking place at the Copper Box Arena.
The event began on Saturday and will run until March 24.
BTF's decision comes amid "concerns for the public, athletes, and volunteer welfare."
The ruling will come into immediate effect on Monday.
Franco Falcinelli, the European Boxing Confederation (EUBC) president, had told BBC Sport he feared the risk of a boxer getting the virus was "very high."
"In my opinion, it's very strange that England - and the competition - is open at this hard time," he said.
