Asian Games – Hero of Day3 – Gan-Erdene Gankhuyag

The Asian Boxing Confederation’s project the Hero of the Day will be published after each competition day during the boxing tournament of the Asian Games. Following Turkmenistan’s rising star Hursand Imankuliyev and South Korea’s two-time ASBC Asian Women’s Champion Oh Yeon Ji, Mongolia’s flyweight (52kg) boxer Gan-Erdene Gankhuyag became the Hero of Day3.
Mongolia’s Gan-Erdene Gankhuyag was born in the Selenge Aimag on March 29 in 1993. He began boxing at the age of 10 in 2003 and he is a boxer who can switch his stance during his bouts. The Mongolian boxer, who trains in the Khangaitan Boxing Club in Ulaanbaatar, had already 328 bouts during his career.
Gan-Erdene Gankhuyag won his first national title in 2010 at the age of 17 and he was involved to the national top team in 2013. He was quarter-finalist in the last edition of the Asian Games in 2014 and claimed bronze and silver medals in the 2015 and 2017 ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships.
The Rio 2016 Olympian Mongolian boxer decided to move up to the flyweight (52kg) nine months ago and impressed with his quick combinations in the last 16 of the Asian Games. Gankhuyag had to face with Japan’s Ryomei Tanaka who eliminated India’s Commonwealth Games favourite Gaurav Solanki in the last 32. The Mongolian boxer adopted the level of the punches at the flyweight (52kg) and eliminated his tough Japanese rival in Jakarta today.
