Uzbekistan’s Nusratbek Tokhirov arrived to the Fujairah 2019 ASBC Asian Junior Boxing Championships with two international tournament titles in the bag and proved his very best once again. He eliminated a top rival in the semi-finals, Kyrgyzstan’s Kabatay Mukash Uulu at the middleweight (75kg) of the competition. The Uzbek was motivated and fresh to dominate his final against China’s Pu Yang who bowed out South Korea’s Im Hyeon Guk in the last four. The 16-year-old Uzbek was confident in the first round and ruled the middle of the ring against the Chinese Junior National Games winner. Tokhirov was smaller than his Chinese opponent but he managed that tactical job and claimed the well-deserved gold medal in Fujairah.
