For the first time at an Olympic Games, the 10 men's boxing events were joined by three women's events: flyweight, lightweight and middleweight.[1]
Seventeen-year-old American Claressa Shields won gold in the women's middleweight, defeating Russia's veteran thirty-three-year-old Nadezda Torlopova by a score of 19–12 in the final.[2] Her victory will be depicted in the film Flint Strong.[3]
