Perspective

Uzbekistan entered eleven boxers (eight men and three women) into the Olympic tournament. 2019 world medalists Mirazizbek Mirzakhalilov (men's featherweight), Bobo-Usmon Baturov (men's welterweight), and reigning super heavyweight champion Bakhodir Jalolov, two-time Asian medalist Elnur Abduraimov, and rookies Sanjar Tursunov (men's heavyweight) and Tursunoy Rakhimova (women's flyweight), with Shakhobidin Zoirov looking to defend his men's flyweight title for his second Games, secured the spots on the Uzbek squad in their respective weight divisions, either by advancing to the semifinal match or by scoring a box-off triumph at the 2020 Asia & Oceania Qualification Tournament in Amman, Jordan.[6]

Fanat Kakhramonov (men's middleweight), 2019 world silver medalist Dilshodbek Ruzmetov (men's light heavyweight), Raykhona Kodirova (women's lightweight), and Maftunakhton Melieva (women's middleweight) completed the nation's boxing lineup by topping the list of eligible boxers from Asia and Oceania in their respective weight divisions of the IOC's Boxing Task Force Rankings. Melieva was later replaced by Shakhnova Yunusova. With 11 successful entrants, Uzbekistan has the largest number of qualified boxers at the Games, shared with Great Britain. Uzbekistan won one gold medal by Bakhodir Jalolov.
