The last edition of the Vietnam Youth & Junior National Championships was held in the city of Can Tho in July 2019 where boxers who were born between 2001 and 2004 showed their talents. Some of the titleholders who are eligible to attend in the national event, returned to the new edition to defend their thrones.
The President of the Vietnam Boxing Federation Mr. Tran Minh Tien opened the Youth & Junior & Schoolboys National Boxing Championships with his speech and welcomed all of the participating teams, boxers and coaches after the fantastic opening ceremony.
