Asian boxer Temirlan Mukataev clinches the title of Asian champion
In the bustling city of Bangkok, Thailand, the Asian Youth Boxing Championship concluded today with a thrilling final match in the men's 90 kg weight category. The championship, organised by the World Boxing Federation, saw the participation of approximately 400 young athletes from 26 countries.
Among the competitors, Temirlan Mukataev, a boxer hailing from Astana, emerged victorious. Mukataev secured the championship title in the 90 kg weight category, defeating Uzbek boxer Shokhrukh Abdumalikov with a close score of 3:2.
While the gold medalist in the men's 90 kg weight category was not explicitly named in the sources, Ishan Kataria, a notable silver medalist, competed in the men's 90+ kg category. This suggests that Mukataev was not Kataria, and given that Uzbekistan topped the U19 gold medal tally, it is likely that Mukataev is from Uzbekistan or another nation dominating the youth events.
In the women's competition, Ritika, representing the U22 team, won the gold medal in the 80+ kg category at the 2025 Asian Under-19 and Under-22 Boxing Championships held in Bangkok. Another Kazakhstani boxer, Akbota Yesimbeкова, won a bronze medal in the women's competition at the Asian Youth Boxing Championship.
The report about Mukataev's victory was made by Vechernyaya Astana. This marks a significant achievement for Kazakhstani boxing, as the country continues to produce talented young athletes in the sport. The Asian Youth Boxing Championship, with its competitive spirit and international flair, provides an excellent platform for these athletes to showcase their skills and build their careers.
In the thrilling conclusion of the Asian Youth Boxing Championship, Temirlan Mukataev, a Kazakhstani boxer, claimed the gold medal in the men's 90 kg weight category, boosting the nation's reputation in sports. Despite the absence of information on the gold medalist in the sources provided, the success of Mukataev highlights Kazakhstan's growing prominence in youth boxing events.
