The accommodation and meals are provided by the expense of the MPI Shymkent Professional Boxing Club during the Abdaliyev Memorial Tournament.

Mr. Karakozy Abdaliyev was a Kazakh-Soviet soldier who was awarded to the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union in 1943 due to his brave actions in World War II. He was born in Shymkent and the city is proud of his hero therefore the Shymkent Boxing Federation was named its international competition after him.
The Karakozy Abdaliyev Tournament was launched more than 40 years ago in Kazakhstan and the event is the most important international challenge in the city of Shymkent. The region’s biggest city was the host of the 2013 edition of the ASBC Asian Junior Boxing Championships.
The 39th edition of the Karakozy Abdaliyev Memorial Tournament was one of the top events in Kazakhstan in 2018. Host Kazakhstan achieved five gold medals in the Abdaliyev Memorial Tournament but the two top Kyrgyz boxers won their weight classes and debutant Hungary also achieved one title in Shymkent five years ago.
The last edition of the Abdaliyev Memorial Tournament was held in October 2022 and the new wave of the Kazakh boxers shined in Shymkent. The super heavyweight (+92kg) delivered a surprise one year ago, Tajikistan’s native talent, Asadbek Mannanov has been crowned in the competition.
