Poland will compete with five experienced boxers in the Paris Olympics

Poland was successful in the qualification events for the Paris Olympics and five of their boxers bagged quotas for the Games.

Poland hosted the European Games on June-July 2023 but surprisingly their boxers were unable to earn any spots for the Paris Olympics.

Following their perfect preparations, and huge efforts, two male and three female Polish boxers qualified for Paris through the 1^st and 2^nd World Olympic Boxing Qualifying Events.

Poland competed at the boxing events of the Olympic Games 21-times between 1924 and 2021 during their long and successful history.

Poland earned 8 gold, 9 silver and 26 bronze medals during the Olympic boxing events and the country is the No.8 in the overall ranking.

The Polish boxers were among the best in the world during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, their team reached plenty of medals in all levels of boxing in that era.

Poland’s most successful boxer was Jerzy Kulej with two Olympic gold medals, he is the national boxing icon in the country.

Jozef Grudzien claimed also two medals in boxing, a gold and a silver while Marian Kasprzyk and Jerzy Rybicki both earned one gold and one bronze medal in their Olympic performance.

Three Polish girls qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games which showed their strong progress in the qualification events.

Aneta Rygielska (66kg) and Elzbieta Wojcik (75kg) are very experienced female boxers with more than 10 years of international routine and 200 contests therefore their expectations are high in the Paris Olympics.

The 21-year-old Julia Szeremeta is a new face in the elite national team, who exceeded all of the expectations and she qualified at the women’s featherweight (57kg) through Busto Arsizio.

Damian Durkacz is able to prepare to his second Olympic Games and the 25-year-old light middleweight (71kg) boxer is in top shape. Their second male boxer will be a younger talent, the European Games bronze medallist Mateusz Bereznicki at the heavyweight (92kg).
