Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) president, Wu Ching-Kuo, told the broadcaster: "We will make a proposal and submit it. Boxing is the only sport in the Olympic programme without women and we believe we are ready."
The introduction of a completely new sport into the Olympic schedule must be configured into the bid made by a winning city - seven years in advance.
It is understood that a women's boxing competition would include 11 weight classes – the same as the men’s competition - and bouts would be held over four two-minute rounds. Existing world and continental championships would be used as qualifiers
The AIBA said that it expects a decision from the IOC by December 2008.
