Bhutan sent boxers to the 2013 AIBA Junior World Boxing Championships to Kiev and their athletes have been there also in the Children of Asia Games in Yakutsk, Russia in 2012.
Bhutan’s Sigyel Phub delivered the country’s big success in the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games where he shocked Kazakhstan’s Daniyar Tolegenov in the first preliminary round and won another contest before stopping in the quarter-finals.
Their currently best boxer Tashi Norbu was quarter-finalist in the last edition of the ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships in Bangkok and qualified for the Doha 2015 AIBA World Boxing Championships as first athlete from Bhutan.
