Cuba has once again proved that nobody comes close to them when we talk about amateur boxing. The proud Caribbean country captured 4 gold medals and a single bronze from the Tokyo 2020 boxing tournament.
Nobody claimed more golden medals than the Cubans – USA got 0, Great Britan got 2 and the Russians won 1.
Andy Cruz (57-63 kg), Roniel Iglesias (63-69 kg), Arlen Lopez (75-81 kg), and Julio la Cruz (81-91 kg) all took the Olympic Boxing gold medals and beamed on the podium in Japan. Lazaro Alvarez added a bronze in the men’s featherweight division for good measure. Cuba didn’t take any women to the competition.
