According to the notice from the 32nd SEA Games Organizing Committee, the original boxing subject had 17 competition contents, including 12 weight classes for men and 5 women's weight classes. But in the schedule of the Cambodian host country, this martial art was withdrawn only 16 contents. That also means a set of Boxing SEA Games 32 medals is not held.
The canceled content of Boxing Sea Games 32 is a weight of 92kg. It is likely that the organizers are forced to cancel because this content has less than 3 athletes registered. According to the regulations of the Organizing Committee, each competition content of Boxing must have representatives of at least 3 countries to be allowed to proceed.
With the weight of over 92kg of male SEA Games 32, Vietnamese boxers Doan Ngoc Minh Hieu will not be able to play. Minh Hieu was a young boxer of the Army Boxing delegation, which was added to the national team attending the 32nd SEA Games after winning the gold medal of the National Sports Festival at the end of last year.
In fact, the fact that some of the boxing subjects in the SEA Games competition program is destroyed is not too rare. At the 31st SEA Games in Vietnam, 2 weight of 69kg and 75kg of women were canceled because each content had only 2 fighters. That made the two athletes of the host country Hoang Ngoc Mai and Tran Thi Oanh Nhi missed the opportunity to attend the SEA Games.
According to the announcement from the Asian Boxing Federation (ASBC), Boxing SEA Games 32 has 95 boxers of 10 countries attending, including 71 male athletes and 24 female athletes. Brunei is the only country without boxing boxing to compete at the 32nd SEA Games. Weighing 54kg men and 60kg male is the content with the most boxers competing, with 9 people.
