Mr. Viorel Sima of Romania is an excellent and very experienced boxing official who worked in several big competitions in the recent one decade. He hosted also several European Boxing Championships in Romania and has strong organizational skills.

He worked as Technical Delegate in the ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan where he solved the issues together with the Uzbek LOC. The Romanian official shared with us his thoughts, opinions about the event.

“As everytime in the last three years I saw a competition with many very good boxers, even because pandemic period was some countries which was not able to fly in Uzbekistan because their internal rules.

The level of the competition was amazing and when you have boxers with medals at Olympic Games or World Boxing Championships this speak very well about the level. I saw a lot of young stars specialy from Uzbekistan, Japan, Mongolia and Tajikistan. I am sure that they will shine at future elite competitions.

The Uzbekistan Boxing Federation did an amazing job and all the management of UBF reacted very fast at every challange. And I am speaking about blackout of electricity, when we was forced to delay two daily sessions and to ensure all suports for the boxers and coaches for one ,,black night,, without electricity and water. The venue was looking very good and also the MC hired for this event made the competition to look like professional boxing show. The opening ceremony gave us some informations about Uzbekistan’s traditions and passion for boxing.

In this pandemic period, we need to keep the passion for boxing and the dreams of boxers alive. Live should goes on and we need to give hope to everyone. I am thinking that we deliver this message very clear: we will do this competition no matter how hard it is.

I saw many people, from LOC, from ITOs, from RJs Teams and also from the team delegations confidents that we will win these war against Covid-19. Without electricity, we, all of us, we found solutions to do this competition! We just proved in Uzbekistan: boxing will not be defeated!

I was working in Tashkent as Techical Delegate for Asian Under 22 Boxing Championships. I received this honor together with a huge responsibilty to do this competition and I was proud at the end because we did it. Special thanks to all persons from LOC starting with Mr. Saken Polatov, Mr. Shohid Tillaboev, Ms. Tamila Sarihanova, Mr. Aziz Tukhtamuradov, volunteers, ITOs and R&Js. I am working in Hungary for an very important tournament now, the Bocskai Memorial now, a tournament which was included in IBA WORLD TOUR and reached this year the 66th edition,” said Romania’s Technical Delegate Mr. Viorel Sima.
