Status	Olympic
Location	Korakuen Horu, Bunkyo, Tokyo
Participants	30 from 30 countries
Format	Single elimination tournament.

At welterweight the Lithuanian Ričardas Tamulis, representing the Soviet Union, reigned supreme. The 1964 Olympics came in the middle of his run of three successive European Championship victories. He cruised into the final where he would face the 1960 bronze medallist Marian Kasprzyk of Poland. The Pole had been given a life ban by his national federation following a conviction for assault and only returned to the ring when the ban was commuted shortly before the Tokyo Games. Kasprzyk, though fighting with a broken thumb suffered in his first fight, had beaten another top rated fighter in Italy’s Silvano Bertini in the semi-final and repeated the trick with a shock victory against Tamulis. Kasprzyk returned to the Olympic Games in 1968 but was eliminated in his opening contest.
