Jump to navigationJump to search
Boxing at the Pacific Games has been contested since 1963 when it was included as one of ten sports at the inaugural games held in Suva, Fiji.[1][2] The Pacific Games was known as the South Pacific Games prior to 2011. The weight classes used for the Pacific Games are in accordance with International Boxing Association (IBA) classifications. Boxing has also been included in many of the Pacific Mini Games, starting with the first edition held at Honiara in 1981.

- ↑ In 1963, although there were ten weight divisions, medals were only awarded in eight of them. Fiji made the only nominations in the flyweight and heavyweight classes and had put two boxers in each division to ensure a contest. J. Roba and M. Mate in the flyweight, and V. Dikidikiliti and P. Kali in the heavyweight, were awarded silver cups in lieu of medals.[3] Fiji won gold in four weight divisions in 1963,[4][5] Cook Islands won gold in two (featherweight and welterweight),[6] and Papua New Guinea and American Samoa won one gold medal each.[7][6]

- ↑ 9.0 9.1 More than half of the boxing weight classes contested at the Honiara Games in 2023 were designated as Olympic qualifiers for which Pacific Games medals were not awarded. Australia won most of the Olympic boxing qualifiers, while Papua New Guinea won the most Pacific Games boxing gold medals. [46][47][48]
- ↑ Women's boxing events were included at the Pacific Games for the first time in 2015. The three weight classes as used by the IOC, i.e. flyweight (48–51kg), lightweight (57–60kg), and middleweight (69–75kg) were added to the schedule.[49][50][51]
- ↑ In 2009, although there were ten weight divisions scheduled, medals were only ultimately awarded in nine of them.[58] Only two boxers were entered for the Flyweight 51 kg division. Samoa's Kaisa Ioane was given a walkover when his Cook Islands opponent did not appear for their bout.[59] As no contest took place, no medals could be awarded. Of the remaining nine divisions: one title was won by each of Samoa, American Samoa, and New Caledonia, two titles were won by Nauru, and four titles were won by Tahiti.[60]
- ↑ In 2017, host nation Vanuatu won five of the ten weight divisions in men's boxing (there were no women's contests scheduled).[61] Tahiti boycotted the Pacific Mini Games due to a dispute over recognition of the French Polynesian Boxing Federation,[62] but some Tahitian boxers competed under the flag of Pacific Games Council (PGC).[63] The PGC team of four boxers won three medals,[64] including gold medals in the heavyweight and super-heavyweight classes.[65]
