He led the Press Conference before the first competition day and negotiated with the key persons of the LOC during the event and presented medals for the prize winners of the Welterweight class (69 kg) in the last competition day.

“The ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships finished and we could all recognize it was a great success for the participants, boxers and the spectators. Boxing is changing and our youth athletes adopted the newly requiring skills and showed their best in the important competition in Pavlodar.
President of the Pavlodar Regional Boxing Federation Mr. Shukhrat Danbay and Executive Director of the Pavlodar Regional Boxing Federation Mr. Azamat Makazhanov worked hard with their team to host the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships in the highest possible level.
The volunteers were also helpful and supported the Pavlodar Regional Boxing Federation successfully in the recent ten days. The crowd was amazing in the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships in Pavlodar and great to see people understand boxing and want to see great fights. Following our previous editions Pavlodar raised the level of the organizations into an upgraded level.
I would like to say big thank you for the Syrian Supervisor of the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships Mr. Mohamed Kamel Shbib and all of the ITOs and R&Js who worked hard during the competition.
I would like to congratulate all of the ten young gold medallists in the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships. Japan won its first ever gold medal in the history of the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships which shows for me the country is on the best way for the success in their home Olympics in Tokyo in 2020.
I am sure all of the boxers who took part here raised their experiences in the international level and to be continued their career in the sport. I trust about our future and hoping our youngsters can get medals in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in St. Petersburg, Russia after the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in November.
The Syrian team competed in the ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships which was an amazing exemplar for all of the countries to their great commitment to boxing,”said Mr. Serik Konakbayev after the finals in Pavlodar.
