The men's bantamweight boxing competition at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro was held from 10 to 20 August at the Riocentro.^[1]

Competition format

Like all Olympic boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament.^[2] This event consisted of 28 boxers who have qualified for the competition through various qualifying tournaments held in 2015 and 2016. The competition began with a preliminary round on 10 August, where the number of competitors was reduced to 16, and concluded with the final on 20 August. As there were fewer than 32 boxers in the competition, a number of boxers received a bye through the preliminary round. Both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals.
