The boxing tournaments at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo took place from 24 July to 8 August 2021 at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan. Thirteen events were staged, the same number as in London in 2012 and Rio de Janeiro in 2016. However, for the first time since the London Games, the programme has been updated, with the number of men's events reduced by two and the number of women's events increased by the same number.
Qualification for the boxing events at the 2020 Summer Olympics is determined by the performances at four Continental Olympic Qualifying Tournaments and at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament, all of which were scheduled to take place on two separate phases because of the consequent Olympic delay and the circumstances involved in the COVID-19 crisis: January to March 2020 and April to June 2021. The event is set to return to London in 2021. The World Olympic Qualifying Tournament is currently in contention of being held. The current consensus is in its cancellation, but changes may occur. The 2020 European Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament may yet again be postponed, this time to June, 2021. AIBA was suspended by the IOC as the Olympic governing body for boxing in 2019. However, AIBA has reiterated its offer to work with the IOC Boxing Task Force to ensure the Olympic qualifying events can still take place. Further negotiations continue. If the 2020 World Olympic Qualifying Tournament is canceled, fifty-three quota places that would have been available at the World Olympic Qualifier will now be assigned based on rankings instead, with the best-ranked boxer per region, per weight category receiving a Tokyo 2020 berth.
