Fanat Kakhramonov (men's middleweight), 2019 world silver medalist Dilshodbek Ruzmetov (men's light heavyweight), Raykhona Kodirova (women's lightweight), and Maftunakhton Melieva (women's middleweight) completed the nation's boxing lineup by topping the list of eligible boxers from Asia and Oceania in their respective weight divisions of the IOC's Boxing Task Force Rankings.
