Tajikistan’s experienced official Mr. Akmal Abdullaev, who worked as Referee & Judge in several ASBC Championships in 2019, is the Supervisor of the Tajikistan Schoolboys National Championships in Dushanbe.

Rakhim Naimov of Khatlon region and Saidekhson Gulomov shined in the smallest weight class at the 29kg and proved their talents in Dushanbe. Juma Shoalifov, one of the titleholders from the 2019 edition of the Tajikistan Schoolboys National Championships, was eliminated already in the first preliminary round which shows the strength of the event at the 33kg where some new names as Dushanbe’s Amirjon Davlatov and last year’s silver medallist Mekhrodj Sufijonov shined until the semi-finals.

Dushanbe’s Abdullojon Mamatkulov and Sughd region’s Jovid Yunusov impressed in the busy 35kg weight class where 15 boxers competed for the title. Dushanbe’s Biloljon Iskanov and Sughd region’s Abubakr Ochilov amazed well enough during their road to the semi-finals of the 37kg weight category in the national event. Iskanov claimed silver medal in the 2019 Tajikistan Schoolboys National Championships and progressed since that event. Dushanbe’s Anushervon Fozilov eliminated Sughd region’s Vladislav Osipov in the quarter-finals of the tough 40kg weight class while his main rivals as Akbar Okhirov and Muinkhon Mavlonov also joined to the last four. Davron Abubakri of Dushanbe has got strong experiences already and could be the favourite of the 43kg weight class but Jafar Khakimov and Damir Muybalikhonov are also still in the competition.
