Background
This was the 25th appearance of men's flyweight, since 1904 except 1908, and twelve years later, returning of this category. Galal Yafai was the defending Olympic champion, but he did not qualify. The 2020 silver medalist Carlo Paalam upgraded from flyweight to featherweight (57 kg). One of the 2020 beonze medalists, Ryomei Tanaka, did not qualify, while the other bronze medalist, Saken Bibossinov, beat Samet Gümüş 0-5, but lost to Hasanboy Dusmatov, the eventual champion.
Qualification
Each NOC could send one boxer to the event.[2]
Competition format
Like all Olympic boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. The competition began with a preliminary round, where the number of competitors was reduced to 16, and concluded with a final. As there were fewer than 32 boxers in the competition, a number of boxers received a bye through the preliminary round. Both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals.
Bouts consisted of three three-minute rounds with a one-minute break between rounds. A boxer may win by knockout or by points. Scoring was on the "10-point-must," with five judges scoring each round. Judges consider "number of blows landed on the target areas, domination of the bout, technique and tactical superiority and competitiveness." Each judge determined a winner for each round, who received 10 points for the round, and assigned the round's loser a number of points between seven and nine based on performance. The judge's scores for each round were added to give a total score for that judge. The boxer with the higher score from a majority of the judges was the winner.[3]
