Med 357 deltagere fra 81 nationer satte deltagerantallet atter rekord. Bedste nation blev Cuba, der med 3 guld, 1 sølv og 1 bronze fik sit store gennembrud. Bortset fra Cuba blev bokseturneringen domineret massivt af boksere fra østblokken, og det blev således kun til to guldmedaljer fra vestblokken, en til USA og en til værtsnationen Vesttyskland. USA sluttede som 6. bedste nation, det ringeste resultat siden OL i 1948.
Turneringens store profil var den cubanske sværvægter Teófilo Stevenson, der på sin vej til finalen stoppede samtlige sine tre modstandere, inden han kunne erklæres som turneringens vinder, da den rumænske finalemodstander Ion Alexe grundet en skade ikke kunne stille op. Teófilo Stevenson modtog Val Barker trofæet for sin indsats i turneringen.
Danske deltagere Danmark stillede med tre deltagere, men opnåede ikke medaljer.
I letvægt deltog Erik Madsen, der imidlertid tabte i første runde 5-0 til ireren Charlie Nash, der siden vandt det professionelle europamesterskab.
I weltervægt vandt Ib Bødtcher 3-2 i første runde over Niguel Ortiz Flores, men blev i turneringens anden runde stoppet i 3. omgang af ireren John Rodgers.
I mellemvægt vandt Poul Knudsen overlegent første kamp 5-0 (60-55; 60-55; 60:55; 60:53; 60:53) over William Peets fra U.S. Virgin Island og kvalificerede sig derved til kvartfinalen, hvor han dog tabte til ghaneseren Prince Amartey med dommerstemmerne 2-3 (59:58; 59:58; 60:58; 59:59; 58:59) efter en tæt kamp.
