How it unfolded

Sultanahmed Ibzagimov (Russia) took silver; Sebastian Kober (Germany) took bronze; Vladimir Tchantouria (Georgia) took bronze. The complete medal order identifies the competition’s outcome, including the countries represented by the other medallists.

Boxing organised separate knockout draws for each weight category. Both losing semi-finalists received bronze medals, so the podium contained four boxers rather than three.
