Following the women’s finals, the male boxers continued the show in the ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Thirteen male winners celebrated their titles in the first historical ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships in Tashkent. Uzbekistan won 12 out of the 13 weight classes in the competition while Tajikistan achieved an amazing title at the heavyweight.

Altogether 109 from boxers from 12 nations competed in the ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan participated in this difficult in Tashkent.

The Technical Delegate of the ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships was Mr. Viorel Sima of Romania and many non-Asian officials and referees work in the event to keep the neutrality in the historical competition. The Uzbek male boxers proved their best in the day of the finals including many talents who were born only in 2002 or in 2003.

Djalilov won the first male final by KO

Uzbekistan’s Asilbek Djalilov turned to 18 only last month, when he claimed gold medal at the Elite National Championships and caused a top sensation in that competition. The Uzbek teenager faced with Japan’s Kazuma Aratake in the final of the men’s minimumweight (48kg) in Tashkent. Djalilov expected a hard battle against the Japanese Elite National Champion but he caught his opponent in the middle of the first round. The young Uzbek landed a lethal punch and knocked out his Japanese opponent which is very rare in that weight class.

Mamirjonov stopped his 18-year-old Tajik opponent

Yukov Prizes Youth Tournament winner Mukhammadkodir Mamirjonov was also born in 2003 as the first Uzbek winner, Asilbek Djalilov. He met in the final of the flyweight (51kg) with Tajikistan’s Akbarali Abdurakhmanzoda who also joined from the youth age group this January. The 18-year-old Tajik had strong footwork in their final but Mamirjonov landed shots from all possible distances and angles. The local favourite received a hook in the first seconds of the second round but responded with powerful shots. Following Mamirjonov’s actions, the Tajik boxer suffered a shoulder injury therefore the ringside doctor stopped the contest and confirmed the Uzbek talent’s RSCI success.

Uzbekistan’s Shakhzod Muzaffarov defeated his Japanese rival in a tactical final

Uzbekistan’s Shakhzod Muzaffarov won the gold medal at the Kielce 2021 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships and he marched to the final of the bantamweight (54kg) with top performance. The 19-year-old Uzbek opened the first round against Japan’s Elite National Champion Soushi Makino with nice combinations and felt the support of the home crowd. Muzaffarov maintained the fighting distance well in the opening round and Makino also tried to follow the rhythm of the final. The Japanese boxer performed better in the second round but Muzaffarov closed that period also with a nice right-left combination. The Uzbek hope was better in their chess game and delivered the host nation’s third male gold medal in Tashkent.

Ruslan Abdullayev achieved Uzbekistan’s sixth-in-a-row male gold medal

Following Khurshidbek Rasuljonov’s walk over success at the lightweight (60kg), a top final was held at the light welterweight (63.5kg). Uzbekistan’s new Elite National Champion Ruslan Abdullayev used quick actions in the first round against Kyrgyzstan’s Mirzokhid Imamnazarov and dictated the tempo. The 20-year-old Kyrgyz boxer landed a strong uppercut in the end of the first round and he was a competitive rival for the new Uzbek star. Abdullayev made his best round in the whole ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships in the final minutes and achieved Uzbekistan’s sixth-in-a-row male gold medal.

Yuldashev dominated the welterweight from the first seconds

Javlonbek Yuldashev was gold medallist at the Puerto Princesa 2017 ASBC Asian Junior Boxing Championships and achieved the title also in their Elite National Championships on December 2021. Yuldashev is now Uzbekistan’s welterweight (67kg) No.1 and demonstrated his power in the first round against Kyrgyzstan’s Sultan Asankul Uulu. The 21-year-old Uzbek landed tough body shots and caught the taller Kyrgyz boxer which guaranteed his advantage after three minutes of fight. Yuldashev, who defeated all of his impressive local opponents one and half month ago, worked hard to finish the final in the second round but Asankul Uulu survived the hard period.

Tojiyev defeated the Kyrgyz ASBC Asian Youth Champion at the 71kg

Kyrgyzstan’s Nuradin Rustambek Uulu achieved gold medal at the Ulaanbaatar 2019 ASBC Asian Youth Boxing Championships. The 20-year-old boxer met in the final with Uzbekistan’s Azizbek Tojiyev who earned the title in Fujairah as a junior. The Kyrgyz boxer opened the first minute in aggressive style but Tojiyev landed nice jabs with perfect timing and he looked quicker in the exchanges. Rustambek Uulu started the second round more aggressively and the Romanian referee counted the Uzbek boxer after a big shot. Their contest was a real many fight with a lot of punches and actions in both sides but Tojiyev was able to keep the triumph at the light middleweight (71kg) on home soil.

Abdupattayev is the king of the middleweight

Saidjamshid Jafarov is the defending ASBC Asian Elite Champion at the middleweight (75kg) and he is still in the U22 age group but the Uzbek coaches decided to give chance to Abdulaziz Abdupattayev in Tashkent. The Uzbek boxer ruled the middle of the ring against Tajikistan’s Abdumalik Boltayev who competed in the Dubai 2021 ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships. Abdupattayev controlled the first round while Boltayev returned in the second with better shots. The Tajik was too tired in the third round and his static boxing meant Abdupattayev earned the gold medal of the weight class.

Jasurbek Yuldashev won the next crucial final in Tashkent

Jasurbek Yuldashev is not the most experienced Uzbek light heavyweight (80kg) boxer but he advanced to the final of the event in Tashkent. He met in the final with Tajikistan’s Elite National Champion Nekruz Salimov and landed the first shot in the bout of the neighbouring boxers. The 22-year-old Tajik replied to the attacks and he was slightly better in the first round on the scorecards. Yuldashev changed his distance in time and he felt that he needs to do more in this final in the front of the home crowd. Both boxers gave in everything in the third round but Yuldashev’s hand was raised after the last gong in Tashkent.

Tajikistan’s first U22 Champion is Davlat Boltayev

Tajikistan’s Davlat Boltayev eliminated his Uzbek opponent in the semi-finals of the heavyweight (92kg) and he was the main favourite in the final against Kyrgyzstan’s Rustam Yrysbek Uulu. The 22-year-old Tajik was quarter-finalist in the Asian & Oceanian Olympic Boxing Qualifying Event and defeated Asian Games winner Jakhon Kurbonov in their national events. Boltayev was a hard target for the Kyrgyz boxer and he knocked down Yrysbek Uulu in the middle of the second round. The Tajik National Champion was in different level than his Kyrgyz opponent and the referee stopped the bout in the third round.

Uzbekistan’s Jakhongir Zokirov is the last winner of the event

Uzbekistan’s AIBA Youth World Champion and ASBC Asian Youth Champion Jakhongir Zokirov could be the next Bakhodir Jalolov at the super heavyweight (+92kg) but he had a tough and tall rival in the last final of the ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships. Tajikistan’s Mukhammad Abroridinov is three-years older than Zokirov and he had the physical conditions to keep the rhythm in the first round. The 18-year-old Uzbek, whose father Lazizbek competed at the Budapest 1997 AIBA World Boxing Championships, performed better in the second round and he landed several clear jabs. Zokirov overcame his Tajik rival in the attacks and won the 85^th bout of the championships by unanimous decision.
