Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov was named as the Best Boxer in the AIBA World Boxing Championships in Hamburg where our continent took two titles and 15 medals. Shakhram Giyasov was silver medallist in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and following his Asian title he defeated all of his rivals by large margin of difference in the Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships.

Besides to Uzbekistan’s welterweight (69kg) star Shakhram Giyasov, Kazakhstan’s Kairat Yeraliyev also achieved a title in the Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships. Asia achieved amazing number of 15 medals in the Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships. Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Mongolia and India won the medals for our continent in Hamburg.

Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov was seeded as No.1 in the Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships but he had such a hard road to the finals in Germany. The 24-year-old defending ASBC Asian Champion triumphed over Ukraine’s Ievgenii Barabanov as first, defeated England’s EUBC European Confederation Boxing Championships silver medallist Pat McCormack in the quarter-finals and in the last four he was too quick for Kazakhstan’s Ablaikhan Zhussupov which was the repeat match of the gold medal bout of the ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships.

Giyasov had to meet in the final of the competition with Cuba’s London 2012 Olympic Champion Roniel Iglesias who defeated the Uzbek hope in the WSB Quarter-final in Havana on May. The Uzbek boxer enjoyed the contest from the second round and played with his Cuban opponent using his tricky style and quick conter-attacks. Giyasov dominated all of the rounds in the final of the Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships in their re-match with his attacking style and celebrated his gold medal after the confirmation of the bout.
