Dorjnyambuu Ganbold will lead Team Mongolia in Astana

Mongolia registered 13 youth and 14 U22 boxers to the ASBC Asian U22 & Youth Boxing Championships and their team is expecting several medals in Astana, Kazakhstan.

Mongolia bagged one gold, four silver and four bronze medals in the 2023 ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships in Bangkok. The Mongolians had only one bronze medal in the last edition of the ASBC Asian Youth Boxing Championships in Astana therefore their mission is to reach the finals in the upcoming event.  

The 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 born boxers will be able to compete at the U22 age group in Astana, Kazakhstan. Boxers who were born in 2006 and in 2007 will be eligible to participate in the youth age group in this specific continental event.

Their U22 National Selection Tournament delivered excellent bouts in two female and six male weight categories in Mongolia and their Youth National Championships served as the next selection competition.

Nomundari Enkh-Amgalan won several national titles during her career and he will strengthen Team Mongolia at the light flyweight (50kg) in Astana. Batgerel Batkhuu (48kg) is another top hope in their female youth squad and the 17-year-old Anu-Ujin Munkhpurev could be also a surprise in the competition.

Dulguunsaikhan Kharkhuu is member of their famous boxing family and he will be boxing at the youth bantamweight (54kg) in Astana. Manal Tsendbaatar impressed in the recent ASBC Championships and he could be also a strong weapon for Mongolia at the featherweight (57kg). Dagvadorj Bat-Ireedui (48kg) and Erdenebold Munkh-Erdene (60kg) are the further boxers in their male youth team who need to be watched in Astana.

Sodon-Od Binderiya claimed a bronze medal in the 2023 Mongolian Elite National Championships and she competed at the Elorda Cup in Kazakhstan as well therefore she is a high hope at the women’s U22 minimumweight (48kg). Chinbat Ariunzul was member of their youth national team last year and she was involved to their women’s U22 squad at the bantamweight (54kg).

Aldarkhishig Battulga was silver medallist at the Mongolian Elite National Championships and he competed at the Cologne Boxing World Cup in 2023 and he is a high hope at the men’s flyweight (51kg) in Astana. The Asian U22 bronze medallist Dorjnyambuu Ganbold is the Elite National Champion at the men’s featherweight (57kg), and he is Mongolia’s best chance for a title in Astana. Their welterweight (67kg) hopeful, Askhar Jandos was bronze medallist in the last Mongolian Elite National Championships in 2023 and he had the same result at the Asian U22 Boxing Championships in Tashkent two years ago.
