Boxing has been contested at every Summer Olympic Games since its introduction to the program at the 1904 Summer Olympics, except for the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, because Swedish law banned the sport at the time. The 2008 Summer Olympics will be the final games with boxing as a male only event. Beginning with the 2012 Summer Olympics, women's boxing will be included in the programme.
