Boxing: All the Qualifying information for Rio 2016
by Michael O'Neill
February 7, 2015
     
   
   

(FEB 7)  Confirmation has been received from the International Boxing Association (AIBA) of the qualification system for Rio 2016 and also the dates of the Olympic qualifiers.

That said, there are of course, as we previously reported, still only 3 weights for women in Rio and thus the WBAN campaign for equality – and our petition - will continue for as long as it takes to achieve true equality.

For now, a reminder that nothing has changed since London 2012 which again means boxers having to either gain (or lose) a lot of weight if they are to fit into the three Olympic weights :

Weight classes:

Number of weight classes: 13 (10 men, 3 women)

Men: 46-49 kg, 52 kg, 56 kg, 60 kg, 64 kg, 69 kg, 75 kg, 81 kg, 91 kg, +91 kg

Women: 48-51 kg, 57-60 kg, 69-75 kg

Rest of the details here : (includes information relating to male qualification places)

Quota places:

Qualification Places: 272

Host country places: 6

Tripartite Commission Invitation Places: 8

Total number of quota places for Rio: 286 (250 men, 36 women) - Same as in the London 2012 Olympics
