The Tajikistan Elite National Boxing Championships is underway in Dushanbe

The boxing world has stopped due to the spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus but the Tajikistan Elite National Boxing Championships is underway in their capital city in Dushanbe. There are not any infections in Tajikistan therefore their National Federation did not stop their planned national events.

Dushanbe hosted the 2016 edition of the Asian Students Boxing Championships and the city is the general host of their National Championships in Tajikistan. Boxers who were born between 1980 and 2001 are eligible to attend in the Tajikistan Elite National Boxing Championships which is their next selection competition for the later international actions.

Tajikistan amazed in the 2019 ASBC events especially at the Bangkok ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships and at the Fujairah ASBC Asian Junior Boxing Championships. Bakhodur Usmonov won gold medal in Bangkok while Abdurakhim Yokubov achieved a title in Fujairah making 2019 to a remarkable year for Tajikistan. Tajikistan sent a strong team to the Asian & Oceanian Olympic Boxing Qualifying Event to Amman, Jordan where their boxers won two important Box-offs. Tajikistan’s reigning ASBC Asian Champion Bakhodur Usmonov (63kg) and FISU University World Champion Shabbos Negmatulloev (81kg) both qualified for the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games through the Amman competition.
