Hans Nielsen of Denmark had reached the last 16 of the featherweight event in Antwerp, but was a much improved fighter in Paris. Winning four successive decisions, including victories over French and US opposition, he reached the final and faced Alfredo Copello of Argentina. A close final was decided by the higher work-rate of the Dane, who became his country’s first Olympic boxing champion.
