Template:Boxing at the 2020 Summer Olympics The boxing tournaments at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo took place from 25 July to 9 August 2020 at the Kokugikan Arena.[1]

Competition format

On March 23, 2013, the Amateur International Boxing Association instituted significant changes to the format. The World Series of Boxing, AIBA's pro team league which started in 2010, already enabled team members to retain 2012 Olympic eligibility. The newer AIBA Pro Boxing Tournament, consisting of pros who sign 5 year contracts with AIBA and compete on pro cards leading up to the tournament, also provides a pathway for new pros to retain their Olympic eligibility and retain ties with national committees. The elimination of headgear and the adoption of the "10-point must" scoring system further clears the delineation between amateur and pro format.[2][3]

The number of weight classes for men was reduced from 10 to 8, with the women's weight classes having a corresponding increase from 3 to 5. The men's weight classes have not yet been determined.

Qualifying criteria

Each National Olympic Committee was permitted to enter up to one athlete in each event.
