  1. What are the European Olympic Boxing qualifiers and how do they work?

    The European Olympic Boxing qualifiers in Paris will be a continuation of the Road to Tokyo European Olympic qualifier in London that was suspended after three days of competition due to the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020.

    It will pick up where the first event left off and be based on the draw from the original event.

    There are 77 spots (50 male and 27 female) left at Tokyo with 176 boxers from across Europe competing across eight men’s weight categories and five women’s.

    The competition will continue through to medal stages and a final in all 13 weight-classes as performance at the Boxing Road to Tokyo qualifying events will impact on seeding at Tokyo 2021.

    With the likes of heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua filling out stadiums, boxing is as popular as ever. There are hundreds of gyms all over the United Kingdom. Club finders in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland will help you get started.

    There are different weight categories which means boxing is for everyone.You don't need to get hurt to enjoy boxing. But most people use the sport as a way of fitness rather than getting in the ring and or competing.Skipping, hitting the punch bag or pads and different exercise drills are used in training and beginners can take it at their own pace.

    GB Boxing has some great resources so that you can see what boxing is all about, and have a better idea of the rules and regulations.
