    You can see the full list here: Boxing at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification - Wikipedia

    First fights are on July 27th, final fights are August 10th.

    Hey might be off, but I think Marco Verde (MX) (71kg) Might have a chance of winning a medal, has a streak of beating Uzbek and Cuban amateurs, got the gold in the Pan American Games and beat Roniel Iglesias in a pro based exhibition bout.

    Ari and Andrey Bonilla brothers had always dreamed to be part of the Olympics, but nothing has been mentioned about them.

    I am not well informed in Piolin, Miguel Angel Martinez who trains under the same trainer as Verde, Radames Hernandez. Supposedly he is good, but I haven't really seen him perform.

        Lightweight Harry Garside (Australia). The 2020 bronze medalist in Tokyo is hungrier than ever to make history, by becoming Australia’s first gold medalist.

        Garside’s obsessed with gold. I believe he’s Australia’s best chance, not sure what to expect though. Lightweight is probably a stacked division.

          Australia has 12 men in the games. More than any other nation. There chace of winning gold in a division, many of which are not teeming with talent is better than you think. I will say they will do better than just one bronze.

            It's Australia's largest ever Olympic Boxing Team of 12 (6 men, 6 women), eclipsing the 11 member contingent at London 2012.

            I'm hearing Teremoana (+92kg) could be one to watch out for too.

                Jalolov
                Julio Cesar La Cruz
                Aoife O'Rourke
                Arlen Lopez
                Estelle Mossley

                Checked out Englands SHW Delicious Orie as I seen a lot of comments of people high on him, I think he is terrible. If he is our best hope of gold we must be buggered.​


                I like the little Cuban whose name escapes me also, I seen his fight vs the American who also qualified in the same cat and thought the decision absolutely stank.

                  Welp Estelle Mossely sent packing already.
                  I suspected even if she lost she would still get the W

                    SHWs today, Jalolov just won. Orie's fight starts in about 4 hours.
