Summary on Ranking & Seeding for the Olympic Boxing Qualifying Events and the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (06 May 2021)
The Olympic Boxing Task Force announced the host cities and dates of the Qualifying Events that will give boxers the chance to qualify for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
The sites were selected with legacy in mind, as all qualification events will be held in former or future Olympic Games or Youth Olympic Games host cities or countries.
The qualification events with host cities and dates were announced as follows:
Africa: DAKAR, Senegal, 20-29 February 2020
Asia/Oceania: AMMAN, Jordan, 3-11 March 2020
Europe: PARIS, France, 4-8 June 2021
Americas: cancelled
Final World: cancelled
There will be eight (8) weight categories for men and five (5) for women at the Games, giving a total of thirteen (13) categories. Additionally, there is no change in the weight categories and so they remain as follows:
While the total number of athletes has been maintained from the Rio 2016 Games, the number of female boxers has been increased by 178 per cent for Tokyo 2020, in a major boost for gender equality and in keeping with the enhanced quality and popularity of female boxing.
To be eligible to participate in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, all athletes must meet the criteria listed in the Qualification System (see link at the top this page).
Under joint responsibility, all NOCs and NFs will have the right to enter any athlete/s that fully complies with the qualification eligibility criteria, including professional boxers.
NOCs are encouraged to work with their respective National Boxing Federations (NF) with regards to the Olympic qualification events and the Tokyo 2020 boxing tournament. All qualification events require both the NF and NOC to confirm the entry of the athlete and their technical and medical standards.
In the event that an NF does not recommend athletes to its respective NOC to be entered into the qualification events and/or the Games themselves, the NOC is empowered to enter their athletes without the recommendation of the NF.
In line with the mandate of primarily delivering the Olympic Boxing Qualifying Events and the boxing tournament at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and considering the importance of focusing on the athletes, the IOC Boxing Task Force has complemented existing AIBA regulations with specific amendments to deliver its commitment to transparency while minimizing the impact on boxers.
