Brazil returned to the top with Bolinha, winning two rounds compared to one by the Japanese Harada Shudai. Afterwards, Zebim repeated his compatriot’s result, beating Nishiyama Shion, another boxer from Japan. In the last fight, Joel beat the first two rounds against the Italian Diego Lenzi, which led to the gold medal.

The World Cup is part of the World Boxing calendar, the sport’s new international federation, founded in April last year to keep the sport in the Olympics, after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) disaffiliate from the International Boxing Association (IBA) due to corruption and lack of governance. The entity had been suspended for four years and was prevented from organizing boxing at the Games in Tokyo, Japan, and Paris, France.

Boxing has been present at the Olympics since 1904, in Saint Louis, in the United States. Brazil reached the podium for the first time in Mexico City, in 1968, with Servílio de Oliveira (bronze). At the Games in London, England, in 2012, there were three medals, with Adriana Araújo (bronze) and the brothers Yamaguchi (bronze) and Esquiva Falcão (silver).

At Rio 2016, Robson Conceição secured the country’s first Olympic gold in the sport. Five years later, Hebert Conceição repeated the feat in Tokyo, where Beatriz Ferreira (silver) and Abner Teixeira (bronze) also won medals. Bia also returned to the podium in Paris, with bronze.
