Nicola Adams from Great Britain won the gold medal — the first Olympic gold ever awarded in women's boxing. Adams beat China's Ren Cancan by 16 points to seven in the final.

The competition consisted of a single-elimination tournament. Bronze medals were awarded to both semi-finalists, Marlen Esparza of the United States and Mary Kom of India. Each bout comprised four rounds of two minutes each.[2]
