FormatTwo groups (A and B). Double elimination tournament within each group. Top four in each group advance to placement matches for 1st-8th place.

Jouko Salomäki of Finland was the defending Olympic champion and the 1987 World Champion, but he lost his first match to Sweden’s Roger Tallroth, who Salomäki had defeated in the 1984 Olympic final. Salomäki then lost to France’s Martial Mischler and was eliminated. This left the favorite’s role to Daulet Turlykhanov, the 1987 European Champion, who had usually been beaten out by his teammate, Mikhail Mamiashvili, multiple international champion, for a spot on the Soviet team, but Mamiashvili moved up to middleweight in seoul. Turlykhanov went to the final where he met Korean Kim Yeong-Nam, the 1986 Asian Games champion, but with little further international record. Kim prevailed, however, defeating Turlykhanov on decision, 2-1, to win the gold medal. Turlykhanov would return in 1992 and win a bronze medal in the middleweight division.
