Team USA Boxing had not lost a single round in their first two fights but the team suffered their first loss in fight 3.
It was their super heavyweight who fought hard but alas lost out to Italy.
The exact score as mentioned by USA Boxing on X as:
“Joshua Edwards falls in a 3-1 decision. Couldn’t be more proud of Josh and the work that he put in to get to the Olympic Games.”
Italy, not known for boxing, bringing an incredible 8 boxers to Paris this year.
Unheard of in Italian history. Certainly in recent times.
Boxing isn’t their thing but they are proving that wrong with today.
Edwards is only 24-years-old anyway. This will be good learning from him.

Expect him to shine in the years ahead.
Many US boxing legends never had a great Olympics or lost out on Gold to become legends of the sport.
Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones come to mind in that regard.
