The full list of male boxers who will participate in the Paris-2024 Summer Olympic Games has been announced.

Offsideplus.az informs that the last tickets to the French capital were awarded at the II World Olympic Qualifying Tournament held in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.

121 boxers in 7 weights
In the most prestigious multi-sport event of the Quadrennial, the winners will be determined in 7 weight classes. A total of 121 male boxers will compete in Paris. 17 in the 51 kg, 57 kg and 80 kg weights, 19 in the 63.5 kg and 71 kg weights, and 16 in the 92 kg and +92 kg weights will enter the ring.

48 countries in the world
Members of a total of 49 teams will compete in the French capital. One of them is the Refugee Olympic Team. Other 48 teams represent different countries. Only two countries will send boxers in all weight classes. These are the nationalities of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

The "penta-trick" of Azerbaijan
The Azerbaijani national team will be represented at the Olympics by 5 boxers. Nijat Huseynov (51 kg), Malik Hasanov (63.5 kg), Murad Allahverdiyev (80 kg), Alfonso Dominguez (92 kg) and Mahammad Abdullayev (+92 kg) will enter the ring in the French capital. Our team was left out of the Olympics in only two weight categories. These are 57 kg and 71 kg categories.

Ahead of the USA, shoulder to shoulder with Cuba
Azerbaijan lags behind only three countries in the world in the number of licenses. Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan with the maximum number, as well as Australia with 6 tickets, are ahead. Our team, which shares the title of the 4th in the world, has the same indicator as the boxing leader, such as Cuba. Not only boxing, but the USA, which is considered the giant of the Olympics, envies Azerbaijan with only 4 licenses.

Lord of the European ring
Only 48 of the 121 boxers who will participate in Paris-2024 represent Europe. A total of 20 countries of the "old continent" were happy with the Olympic license. Our national team, which has proved to be the master of the European ring, shares the 1st place on the continent. Only Spain got 5 tickets as much as Azerbaijan. Countries like Italy, Ukraine, Great Britain, and Turkey look down on our team.
