Roscoe Hill: U.S. World Boxing Silver Medalist

American boxer Roscoe Hill earned bronze at the 2023 Pan American Games and qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympics. USA Boxing identifies him among the athletes who secured Olympic places at the Bangkok qualification tournament.

Roscoe Hill’s international boxing milestones

Hill represented the United States in the 51 kg class, with USA Boxing listing Spring, Texas, as his hometown. His senior international results included silver at the 2021 Elite World Championships and gold at the 2022 AMBC Elite Championships, followed by his Pan American Games bronze in Santiago in 2023.

Those medals came in three separate competitions. The world silver marked his success against a global field, while the AMBC and Pan American results established his standing among boxers from across the Americas. The embedded video features his 2023 Pan American semi-final against Yunior Alcántara of the Dominican Republic.

Olympic qualification and Paris 2024

Hill secured his Olympic place at the final world qualification tournament in Bangkok in June 2024. He and fellow American Alyssa Mendoza qualified there, completing additional places on the United States boxing team for Paris.

At the Olympics, Hill opened with a 5–0 decision over Omid Ahmadisafa of the Refugee Olympic Team. His next contest was against France’s Billal Bennama in the round of 16 on 30 July. Bennama won a close 3–2 split decision, ending Hill’s tournament.

Hill’s Paris appearance followed several years of international medal results and the successful Bangkok qualifying campaign. The Olympic outcome belongs alongside those earlier achievements: he won his opening bout before falling one round short of the quarter-finals.
