We’ve reached medal competition in Olympic boxing.

Olympic boxing reaches its medal stages on Sunday, on its ninth overall day of competition.

There’s a morning round and an afternoon round of boxing on Sunday. The morning’s events start at 10 a.m. ET, and the afternoon’s start at 4 p.m. ET. The morning’s boxing concludes with the gold medal match in the men’s light flyweight (49 kg) weight class, which had its semifinals on Friday.

In one of those semis, Colombia’s Yuberjén Herney Martinez Rivas beat Cuba’s Joahnys Argilagos. In the other, Uzbekistan’s Hasanboy Dusmatov beat the United States’ Nico Hernández. So it’ll be Rivas against Dusmatov for all the marbles on Sunday, in a Colombia-versus-Uzbekistan showdown.

Olympic men’s boxing matches are made of three rounds, each three minutes long. (The women’s matches are four rounds by two minutes.) There’s a minute’s rest between each round, and judges score everything that doesn’t result in a knockout. Sunday’s final could bring some drama, as could the preliminaries, quarterfinals and semifinals going on at other times during the day.

NBC will carry track and field while boxing is going on, but everything in the ring is streamable, and some of the boxing will appear on Telemundo. Here’s complete viewing information for boxing in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday:
