Paris Olympics: What to know and who to watch during the boxing competition
A roadmap to follow for the boxing tournaments during the Paris Olympics:
Athletes to Watch
—Arlen López, Cuba: Now 31, the two-time Olympic champion will attempt to become the fourth three-time gold medalist in Olympic boxing history. He’ll probably have to beat the Philippines’ Eumir Marcial, a promising pro boxer and Manny Pacquiao protégé.
—Julio César La Cruz, Cuba: Although he took two pro fights in 2022, the punishing heavyweight is back to take his own shot at the exclusive club of three-time gold medalists.
—Teremoana “Junior” Teremoana, Australia: The most compelling fighter on the Aussies’ impressive team might be this 6-foot-6 super heavyweight with four professional knockouts.
—Kellie Harrington, Ireland: The lightweight champion of Tokyo is back to try for a second gold, but she is coming off her first loss in nearly three years and has faced criticism for her perceived anti-immigration stances on social media.
