Yankiel Rivera Figueroa (born September 10, 1997) is a Puerto Rican flyweight boxer. He is the only boxer in his country who qualified to participate in the 2020 Summer Olympics.[1]
Boxing career
Rivera won bronze at the Pan American Youth Championships in Quito in 2014.[2] He lost to Leandro Blanc in the quarter-finals of the 2016 continental Olympic qualification in Buenos Aires[3] and competed at the 2017 World Boxing Championships in Hamburg, where he lost to the eventual runner-up Jasurbek Latipov in the preliminary round.[4] At the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games in Barranquilla[5] and also at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, he won a bronze medal in the flyweight division.[6]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American-continental Olympic qualification tournament in Buenos Aires planned for May 2021 was canceled and a qualification based on the continental ranking was decided instead, which secured Rivera a starting place as number 3 in the ranking.[7]
