Mangystau region’s Altynbek Alzhan had a tough semi-final but following that bout, he dominated the final against Raiymbek Amantayev.

Almaty’s Youth World Boxing Championships silver medallist Nurbek Mursal was one of the stars of the Aitenov Brothers Youth Tournament and he had the dominance over Yersultan Serikhan at the welterweight (67kg) final. Islam Sovetov, another high-ranked Kazakh youth talent, defeated his main local rivals such as Kostanay region’s Denis Kucher and Oner Seilkhan to take the title of the light middleweight (71kg).
