Twelve men's individual boxing events were contested, attended by 432 athletes and 159 officials from 106 countries. ^[1] The events were notable for a controversial decision in the light middleweight championship bout between American Roy Jones Jr. and South Korean Park Si-Hun, when Roy Jones was denied gold despite being considered vastly superior by observers. ^{[2] [3] [4]}
