Indonesia sent four to the title matches, all of which won on points. It will be guaranteed the light flyweight gold, with Damianus Jordan facing countryman Lapaene Masara in the final.

New Zealand advanced three contenders to the finals, including super heavyweight Faii Falamoe, who won a walkover when Guo Yongshuang failed to show up.
