The boxing schedule began on 20 July and ended on 4 August. Twelve boxing events were contested, with the participation of 355 athletes from 97 countries.

There was significant controversy surrounding the judging of the fight between Floyd Mayweather of the U.S. and Serafim Todorov of Bulgaria, with Todorov being awarded the semi-final bout win which according to many observers, was won by Mayweather. Additionally, in the final of the light flyweight bout between Bulgaria's Daniel Petrov and Mansueto Velasco of the Philippines, Petrov claimed gold as many spectators believed that Velasco should have won the match and questioned the one-sided scoring of the judges.
