This is the first official Asian Championship organized by the newly launched Asian Boxing Federation (Asian Boxing), which was launched in December 2024, and is meaningful in that it is the first age-specific championship hosted by a new Asian boxing organization launched under the banner of independence and transparency.
More than 30 Asian countries are participating in the event, which will be the second time after the U15 Asian Championship held in Jordan in March this year, and prospects from each country are performing high-quality games.
The Korea Boxing Association was sponsored by the National Sports Promotion Agency and the Korea Sports Association, and the national team was formed to improve performance and adaptability to international competitions through international hands-on experience. The U19 national team consisted of five leaders and 15 players, and the U22 national team consisted of three leaders and 15 players, with a total of 38 participants.
In the U22 national team, Bang Kyung-ho (Korea National Sports University), Hong Jin-sung (Korea National Sports University), Nam Chan-young (Korea National Sports University), -90kg Munye-chan (Masan National University), +90kg Shin Yoo-seung (Korea National Sports University) and Hong Kook-bi (Woo Seok-dae) of the women's -75kg class secured bronze medals.
Meanwhile, the U19 squad, which is participating together, is also doing well and conducting preliminary rounds.
