The Val Barker Award is given out to the best technical boxer at each Olympics. The award is named for Val Barker, who was President of AIBA (Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur) from 1926-29. No awards were given in 2020 or 2024 because AIBA was suspended at the time of the Tokyo Olympics - although an award with the same name was given out at the AIBA men’s world championships later in 2021.
