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.

GB are sending twelve boxers – eight male and four female - to Paris.

The team includes Wales’ reigning world champion, Lauren Price, along with three men that won medals at the 2019 world championships, Pat McCormack (sliver), Peter McGrail (bronze) and Ben Whittaker (bronze).

Two members of the GB Boxing team, Galal Yafai and McGrail, have already qualified for the Tokyo Olympics but will still compete.
