For the first time since the previous Tokyo Olympics in 1964, this division was the lightest of those contested. Three of the four seeded fighters were eliminated immediately on entry at the round of 16 phase. Galai Yafai, Great Britain rode his luck after a comprehensive victory in the first round, winning four successive split decision triumphs to take gold. The final was effectively decided when his opponent, Carlo Paalam of the Philippines, was sent to the canvas in the first round but Paalam recovered well to win the second round before Yafai imposed himself and won the final round on four of the five scorecards. Yafai, a former car factory worker who given up his job to chase his Olympic dream, was the younger brother of 2008 Olympian Khalid Yafai, who spent four years as a professional world champion.
