The boxing tournaments at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro are scheduled to take place from 6 to 21 August 2016 at the Pavilion 6 of Riocentro.

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.

Similar to 2012 format, men compete in the following ten events:

As for the women, they are eligible to compete in the following three events:

Qualifying criteria

Main article: Boxing at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

Each National Olympic Committee is permitted to enter up to one athlete in each event. Six places (five men and one woman) are reserved for the host nation Brazil, while the remaining places are allocated to the Tripartite Invitation Commission. Because non-AIBA professional boxers are eligible to compete for the first time at the Olympics, a total of thirty-seven places have been reserved and thereby distributed to pros; twenty are qualified through the AIBA Pro Boxing Series with two for each event, while seventeen through the World Series of Boxing. Each continent has a quota of places to be filled through the two amateur and semi-pro league tournaments.

Qualification events are:

  • 2014–2015 World Series of Boxing (WSB) – The two top ranked boxers at the end of the 2014–2015 season in each weight category (except light flyweight, heavyweight, and super heavyweight with one each).
  • 2014–2015 AIBA Pro Boxing (APB) World Ranking – The champion and world-ranked top challenger in each weight category of the APB World Ranking at the end of the first cycle in September 2015.
  • 2015 AIBA World Boxing Championships – Doha, Qatar, 5–18 October – The top three boxers from five weight categories (bantamweight, lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight, and middleweight), the gold and silver medalists from three divisions (light flyweight, flyweight, and light heavyweight), and the champions in two heaviest classes (heavyweight and super heavyweight).
  • 2016 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships – Astana, Kazakhstan – The top four boxers in each weight category.
  • 2016 APB and WSB Olympic Qualifier – The top three of the remaining boxers in each of the eight categories, and the champion in two heaviest classes.
  • 2016 AIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament
  • 2016 AIBA Continental Olympic Qualifiers (both men and women)
