The men's middleweight event was part of the boxing programme at the 1988 Summer Olympics. The weight class allowed boxers of up to 75 kilograms to compete. The competition was held from 19 September to 1 October 1988. 33 boxers from 33 nations competed. Henry Maske won the gold medal.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1988/BOX/mens-middleweight.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418124730/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1988/BOX/mens-middleweight.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 April 2020 |title=Boxing at the 1988 Seoul Summer Games: Men's Middleweight |work=Sports Reference |accessdate=6 January 2019}}

Anthony Hembrick of the United States never had the opportunity to fight in the 1988 Olympics. Hembrick and his coach, Ken Adams, misinterpreted the fight schedule. Afterwards, they blamed the schedule for being too confusing. By the time Hembrick arrived at Chamshil Students' Gymnasium twelve minutes late, he had been disqualified and the match was being awarded to South Korean Ha Jong-ho.{{cite news|last1=Alfano|first1=Peter|title=THE SEOUL OLYMPICS: Boxing; Tardy Hembrick Is Banned|work=The New York Times|date=20 September 1988}}
