Boxing Highlights

Who will win the fight for gold? We pick out the highlights from the Olympic boxing event in London.

SATURDAY, JULY 28

The preliminary rounds of the men's bantamweight and middleweight divisions get the competition under way, with Luke Campbell and Anthony Ogogo representing the hosts in those respective categories.

SUNDAY, JULY 29

The men's lightweight and welterweight divisions begin, promising a blend of movement and power. Josh Taylor and Fred Evans are the British representatives.

MONDAY, JULY 30

The men's flyweight and light-heavyweight divisions offer a contrast in size, speed and power. Andrew Selby is GB's flyweight representative, but no home fighter qualified at 75 kilograms.

TUESDAY, JULY 31

Tuesday is time for the preliminaries of the men's light-flyweight and light-welterweight divisions. Although GB does not have a representative at light-fly, Tom Stalker is one of the 64kg favourites.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1

The serious business begins with last-16 clashes at men's bantamweight, heavyweight and super-heavyweight. London's World Championship silver medallist Anthony Joshua starts his campaign.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2

The men's lightweight and middleweight divisions reach the last-16 stage, with Taylor and Ogogo hoping to be still in the running to move a step closer to the medal rounds.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 3

Home eyes will hopefully be on Welsh pair Selby and Evans in the men's flyweight and welterweight divisions. Both are reigning European champions, so big things are expected.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 4

Last-16 clashes in men's light-flyweight, light-welterweight and light-heavyweight. With no home contenders in two of the three categories, the focus is on popular Liverpool man Stalker to do the business.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 5

Women's boxing takes its place in the Olympic programme for the first time with preliminaries at all three weights. Quarter-finals in the men's bantamweight and heavyweight division - where wins guarantee at least bronze.

MONDAY, AUGUST 6

Potentially six more British medallists can be confirmed in last-eight clashes involving men's lightweight, middleweight and super-heavyweight, plus all three women's weights.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 7

If Selby and Evans are still standing in the competition they will get their chance to guarantee at least bronze medals in the flyweight and welterweight divisions respectively.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8

Semi-finals in all three women's categories plus the chance to guarantee medals for men's light-flyweight, light-welterweight and light-heavyweight fighters.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 9

The women once again take centre stage with their flyweight, lightweight and middleweight finals. World champion Savannah Marshall is hot favourite to be crowned GB's first 2012 boxing gold medallist.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 10

The semi-finals of all 10 men's weight categories take place over two sessions. The Britons remaining will face some of the toughest tests of their careers if they are to reach their respective finals.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 11

With the men's finals split over two days, Saturday sees the light-flyweight, bantamweight, light-welterweight, middleweight and heavyweight divisions come to their conclusions.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 12

The Olympic 2012 boxing programme ends with five finals, at flyweight, lightweight, welterweight, light-heavyweight and super-heavyweight - where, fingers crossed, Joshua will round off the show in style.
