There was only one non-British competitor, Philippe Mazoir of France. Most of the top British bantams were present. Harry Perry had been Amateur Boxing Association (ABA) champion in 1903-1904, while Wally Webb won that title in 1905 and 1910, and Johnny Condon would win it in 1909. Harry Thomas won two decisions to take the gold medal, receiving a bye in the semi-finals. He was also ABA Champion in 1908. Thomas turned professional in 1909 and settled in the United States. He fought there and in Australia until his retirement, in 1916.
