There will be a new Olympic champion in the men’s heavyweight boxing on Monday as Russia’s Evgeny Tishchenko will take on Kazakhstan’s Vassiliy Levit in the final. Uzbekistan’s Rustam Tulaganov and Cuba’s Erislandy Savón both clinched bronze medals with losses in the semifinals.

That is the highlight of a Monday packed with 19 different boxing matches between men and women combined. Telemundo will televise part of the morning session, with NBCSN and NBC Universo returning for the night session, including the heavyweight gold medal match.

All the matches will be available for online streaming thanks to NBC Sports.

Tishchenko, a 25-year-old, and Levit, a 28-year-old, will both win their first Olympic medals no matter the decision on Monday.

Tishchenko took home gold at the World Championships in 2015 and was a popular pick to advance to the medal rounds. Levit, however, pulled off a bit of an upset when he beat Savón in the semis. Savón was thought to be a gold medal contender.
