In Russia, women were looked down at for boxing professionally in the 1900s; because of this, female boxers started to box in the streets, or underground arenas, where they could fight and make money off bets.

As an amateur, Savelyeva went 134–15–1, winning the world, European (2X) and Russian (6X) championships.

When Savelyeva gained more wins, she became co-promoted by Salita Promotions and Russian-based Alexander Nevskiy Promotion Group.

By defeating Kim Hye Song of North Korea in the opening round, Savelyeva won the first ever women's boxing bout at the Olympics.

To qualify for the 2012 Olympics, fighters had to qualify at the World Championships.

For the flyweight division, 12 women qualified.

There was only 1 fighters qualified per nation that entered a fighter into the Olympics.

This allowed women to become great and reach professional levels such as the Olympics. When the announcement was made in 2009 that female pugilists would be included in the next Olympics, it was a chance to redress an age-old imbalance. ”The Olympic tournament has witnessed some fresh and exciting female boxers who have challenged the men s competition in dynamic and intriguing bouts. And as the final bell rings today on a terrific tournament, the sport of women s boxing will surely not be stepping out of the ring or the spotlight anytime soon.” It’s no surprise that the world was watching with great anticipation as Russia '' s Elena Savelyeva and Hye Song Kim of DPK Korea stepped through the ropes into the boxing ring at the London Olympics.

After all, they made history as the first women ever to do so.

The pair touched gloves, the bell rang, a punch was thrown—and women's boxing was suddenly a sport everyone was talking about.

To be classified as an “elite boxer”, one needs to be between the ages of 10 and 40.

Since boxers at the Olympics are “elite”, then the age range for the Olympics is between 19 and 40.

The previous age limit was 34.

Competition was single elimination.

There were three classes of weights for women: flyweight (the lightest), lightweight (the middle), middleweight (the heaviest).
