Explanation

Boxing was the last Olympic sport to exclude women, with women's boxing only debuting in the 2012 London Olympics. Until then, Olympic boxing was male-only. The question parenthetically notes that women will be allowed from the next Olympics, which historically refers to the 2012 games. Canoeing and kayaking have long included women's events, and fencing has allowed women since 1924.
