The men's light heavyweight event was part of the boxing programme at the 1992 Summer Olympics. The weight class allowed boxers of up to 81 kilograms to compete. The competition was held from 29 July to 9 August 1992. 26 boxers from 26 nations competed.

Background

For the reasons unknown the Unified Team head coach Kontsantin Koptzev dropped the team's top light heavyweight Andrey Kurnyavka, who qualified for the Games, and previously defeated Torsten May, Angel Espinosa, and fellow Rostyslav Zaulychnyi, out from the team. That unpopular decision affected level of the competition heavily.
