Last updated

There was a nominal total of 316 athlete quota places available for boxing at the 2019 European Games ; 256 for men and 60 for women. [1]

Qualification rules

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) is restricted to one entry per event, which equates to a maximum quota of fifteen qualified boxers. Quota places earned through qualification were awarded to the qualifying boxers.

As the host NOC, Belarus was guaranteed athlete quota places for all fifteen categories.

Men

In keeping with procedure for previous European Amateur Boxing Championships, each NOC could simply enter their boxers of choice. There were no category-specific limits on quota places.

Women

Each category was assigned 12 quota places, of which 2 were nominally reserved for host NOC and universality allocations.

Qualification for the remaining 10 was determined primarily by NOC placings in the December 2018 AIBA World Ranking. Any outstanding places were allocated to unranked boxers best placed in the 2018 European Championships, then (if required) the 2018 World Championships.

Unused quota places (including those reserved as above) were reallocated based on performances at the aforementioned championships.

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.
