Super heavyweights always fascinated me. Where i can pull up list of candidates ( tale of tape would be nice) from all countries for summer Olympics 2020 in tokyo finding upcoming young giants.
Almost 90% of heavyweights listed on boxrec are older than my father after few years.

Is it even on?
I live in Japan, and we haven't been given the opportunity to buy tickets for any boxing events, yet.
They weren't available in the first ticket lottery we had in late Spring, and they won't be available in the second ticket lottery in August either...

After a quick Google, turns out it was only yesterday that boxing was even officially included at Tokyo 2020.
So that would make sense why there are no options on the tickets.
You are going to be hard pushed to get a list of competitors yet

Richard Torrez (USA) is actually pretty good and I consider him one of the top gold medal prospects in the division. He lost a controversial 3-2 decision to Cuban Dainier Pero at the Pan Am semifinals the other day. Previously he has won all his international bouts at Elite level for the last 2,5 years.
Apart from these two, other super heavyweight medal contenders are:
Bakhodir Jalolov (UZB) - 2019 Asian Championships Gold
Kamshybek Kunkabayev (KAZ) - 2019 Asian Championships Silver
Viktor Vykhryst (UKR) - 2019 European Games Gold
Justis Huni (AUS) - 2016 World Youth Gold
Mourad Aliev (FRA) - 2019 European Games Silver
Frazer Clarke (GBR) - 2018 Commonwealth Games Gold
Nelvie Tiafack (GER) - 2019 European Games Bronze
3-time World Champion Magomedrasul Medshydov seems to have been inactive last 2 years so I don´t know if he will come for the Olympics.

Thank you. Looking forward to seeing them all in action
