Omari Jones from Orlando, Florida, concluded his journey at the Paris 2024 Olympics by winning a bronze medal in the men's welterweight (71 kg) division. He was defeated in a tight semifinal match against Uzbekistan's Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev, who won by a split decision of 3-2. Despite trailing at the start, Jones showcased resilience by winning the final round, but ultimately fell short of a knockout needed for victory. With this outcome, Jones became the only American boxer to medal at the Games, highlighting a disappointing performance from Team USA, which has not seen a male boxing gold medal since 2004. Muydinkhujaev will compete for gold against Mexico's Marco Alonso Verde Alvarez on August 9. The U.S. boxing team now shifts its focus to future competitions, with hopes for improvement in the upcoming Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
