Date29 September – 1 October 1988
StatusOlympic
LocationSang-mu Che-yuk-gwan, Seongnam
Participants29 from 29 countries
FormatTwo groups (A and B). Double elimination tournament within each group. Top 4 in each group advanced to placement matches for 1st-8th place.

Defending champion Mark Schultz was back and had won the 1985 and 1987 World Championships. He won his first five matches but was then crushed in round six by Soviet Aleksandr Tambovtsev and round seven by Turkey’s Necmi Gençalp. Both Tambovtsec and Gençalp had one loss in group bouts, but Gençalp won Group B. Bulgarian Aleksandar Nanev had won silver medals at the last three Worlds, and was 1986-87 European Champion, but he lost his first two matches and was effectively eliminated. In Group A, Korean Han Myeong-U, 1986 Asian Games gold medalist as a welterweight, came through unbeaten to advance to the gold medal match against Gençalp. Han won the final comfortably, taking a decision 4-0, with Gençalp settling for silver. The bronze medal bout matched Tambovtsev against Czechoslovak Jozef Lohyňa, bronze medalist at the 1986-87 Europeans and 1986 Worlds. Lohyňa was well ahead on points when Tambovtsev was disqualified for passivity.
