Boxing - Achievements

At the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, the Australian team, comprising AIS boxers, won four bronze medals.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Australia qualified ten from a possible 12 boxers through the Oceania qualifying tournament. All ten were AIS scholarship holders, with one athlete reaching the quarter finals and two reaching the last 16 in their weight divisions.

At the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games, AIS scholarship holders had outstanding success, winning gold medals in the 54, 67 and 75-kilogram classes and bronze in the 81-kilogram class. To date this was Australia's best-ever result at a Commonwealth Games.

At the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, AIS scholarship holders bettered their success from four years earlier. The team won gold in the 75 and 91 -kilogram classes and bronze in the 57, 60, 81 and 91+-kilogram classes.
