Uzbekistan sent nine boxers to Athens. All nine made it past the round of 32, with five victories and four byes. Four of the boxers fell in the round of 16 (two of which had not had matches in the round of 32). Three more barely missed medalling by being defeated in the quarterfinals, while the two that had won their quarterfinal bouts both lost in the semifinals to earn bronze medals. These two bronze medals put the Uzbekis in a four-way tie for 12th place in the boxing medals count. The combined record of the nine boxers was 12-9.
