Boxing is one of the original sports of the Commonwealth Games and has featured in every edition, since Hamilton 1930.
Dominated by England, with 128 medals and 60 gold, it has provided a happy hunting ground for African nations, with Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Uganda all enjoying success.
Women's boxing was introduced to the programme at Glasgow 2014.
New Zealand has won 37 medals and eight gold, but unfortunately, David Nyika won't have a chance to create a unique slice of history, by attempting to win his third straight gold medal, after light-heavyweight success at Glasgow and heavyweight triumph at Gold Coast 2018.
He has already embarked on his professional career and suffered a hand injury that saw him withdraw from Birmingham.
Gold Coast bronze medallist Troy Garton will return, hoping to improve her standing in the women's lightweight class.
Many of our past medallists as amateurs have already gone on to professional careers, including Jimmy Peau (aka Jimmy Thunder) and Shane Cameron, trainer Kevin Barry and referee Lance Revill.
