qualification

The first qualifying competition was the 2007 World Championships in Chicago . The eight best boxers qualified in the nine lowest weight classes and the best four in the two highest weight classes. In the subsequent individual continental eliminations, the other 20 (in the lower nine weight classes; a total of 28 fighters per weight class) or twelve (in the upper two weight classes; here a total of 16 fighters) were able to compete according to a continent quota previously set by the AIBA Fighters per weight class) qualify fighters. In addition, there were two wildcards given by the IOC and the AIBA to countries from which no athletes could qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games. This resulted in a total of 286 participating athletes. The two wildcards were awarded in June 2008 to Simanga Shiba from Swaziland in the light flyweight division and Rolande Moses from Grenada in the welterweight division.
