From July 30 to August 12, a long-awaited tournament for boxing fans is underway — the Asian Championship being held in Bangkok, Thailand. The event features competitions among youth and juniors under 22, as reported by the Uzbekistan Boxing Federation.
Today is of particular importance for the Uzbekistan national team. That’s because 12 talented young athletes from our U-19 team will battle for a spot in the finals. Among them are both male and female fighters. Each aims to honorably represent the country and take a confident step toward championship glory.
Here are the matchups and their opponents:
— In the -48 kg weight class: Maftuna Musurmonova will face Vietnam’s Thao Than Lus.
— At -60 kg: Sevara Mamatova will compete against Kazakhstan’s Alina Kudaigenova.
