Boxing at the 1984 Summer Olympics took place in the Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California, United States. The boxing schedule began on July 29 and ended on August 11. Twelve boxing events were contested with the participation of 354 fighters from 81 countries. An upset, that bittered the event, was the absence of the Socialist countries' teams, Cuban, Soviet, and East German in particular, due to the ongoing boycott, that their governments due to political reasons imposed on the Olympics.
