Reigning Asian champs lord over Uzbekistan youth competition

Winners from the ASBC Asian Youth Championships 2022 showed that they really are a cut above the rest as they emerged atop their respective divisions in the Uzbekistan Youth National Cup 2022 held recently in the city of Namangan.

Aynazar Kenesbayev, the heavyweight (92kg) titlist in the continental joust held in Amman, Jordan last March, came through with a second-round RSC (referee stops contest) victory after his final opponent Elyorbek Juraboyev got seriously injured.

Asian youth flyweight (51kg) champ Khojanazar Nortojiyev moved up to the bantamweight (54kg) class where he hacked out a 5-0 rout against fellow Asian winner Abduvali Buriboyev for the gold medal.

Fazliddin Erkinboyev (light middle-71kg), Rakhmatullo Boymatov (light heavy-80kg) and Abdulaziz Abdurakhmonov (cruiser-86kg) all climbed one weight division as well and yet they succeeded in asserting their dominance over separate foes in the finals.

This year’s Uzbekistan Youth National Cup also served as one of the selections for the IBA Youth Men’s & Women’s World Championships slated on November 13 to 27 in Alicante, Spain.

The Tashkent Region topped the tournament’s team standings with four gold medals followed by Bukhara with three, host Namangan and Andizhan with two apiece and Surkhondarya and the autonomous Karakalpakstan Republic with one each.
