Vietnamese boxers won 2 gold medals, 1 gold medal and 7 bronze medals in the tournament. Nguyen Thi Tam and Vo Thi Kim Anh are Vietnamese boxers winning gold medals in the last tournament.
In addition to attending the 31st SEA Games, the Vietnamese boxing team is likely to send at least 1 athlete to attend the World Women's Boxing Championship 2022. This tournament takes place coincides with the time when the SEA Games starts, so many Vietnamese athletes cannot attend as expected.
