When to watch boxing during the 2024 Paris Olympics
Boxing has been contested at the Olympic level since the 1904 St. Louis Games, where the U.S. swept the podium as it was the only country to compete. Over the years, boxing has grown in popularity and women's boxing was finally added to the Olympic program in 2012.
Between 1984 and 2012, boxers were required to wear a protective helmet (a rule that professionals did not have to abide by), but the rule was abandoned for men ahead of the 2016 Rio Games. The men's events are contested over three rounds of three minutes, while the women's rounds are fought over four rounds of two minutes.
These boxers will take the ring in the 2024 Paris Olympics on July 27 - August 10.

Venues
Roland-Garros Stadium and Arena Paris Nord, at Villepinte (subject to approval) will be the home of the Olympic boxing events.
Roland-Garros is a legendary stadium located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris that is best known for hosting international tennis tournaments such as the French Open. The stadium was named after French aviator Roland Garros and was originally built in 1928 to host France's Davis Cup. The stadium has been upgraded numerous times throughout the years to compete with other Grand Slam venues. Renovations between 2015 and 2021 involved rebuilding the Philippe Chatrier Court and building the Simonne Mathieu Court.
Roland-Garros will take on a new role for the 2024 Games as it will host tennis and boxing, in addition to wheelchair tennis and sitting volleyball during the Paralympic Games.
