The day of the finals with 13 contests was held in the FISU University World Boxing Championships in Elista where the competition is finished. The city located in the Southern part of the Russian Federation and among the eight Asian finalists five won their gold medals in the student event.
Following the last Chiang Mai edition which was held in Thailand the current host is the Russian Federation. Altogether 17 women and 93 men boxers competed in the FISU University World Boxing Championships where 13 winners were in Elista which is the capital city of the Republic of Kalmykia.
Chinese Taipei’s AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships bronze medallist and Rio 2016 Olympian Chen Nien Chin proved her powerful performance once again this time in Elista. Chen is still only 21 but she is a top woman boxer and attending in the international events since 2012. Chinese Taipei’s No.1 was not able to attend in the Asian Games therefore she was motivated against Hungary’s former AIBA Women’s Youth World Champion Petra Szatmari and Russia’s Anna Anfinogenova during her road to the gold medals.
Kazakhstan’s Abay Kuandykov has been attending international elite events since 2014 eliminated Japan’s ASBC Asian Youth Champion and ASBC Asian Junior Champion 19-year-old Ryutaro Nakagaki in a key semi-final. The Kazakh flyweight (52kg) boxer met for the gold medal with Chinese Taipei’s Hong Chun Hsuan who is same young as the Japanese boxer. Kuandykov dictated the tempo and he won all of the rounds in each scorecard securing a gold medal for Kazakhstan.
Japan’s new sensation Ryoma Kitaura moved up to the bantamweight (56kg) only in the recent months and he proved his talent in the Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament where he claimed silver medal two months ago. The 21-year-old Japanese boxer eliminated Chinese Taipei’s Chen Po Yi in a quick semi-final bout and he was still enough fresh for the finals. Kitaura had better footwork and used his energetic style against Armenia’s Zhorzhik Marutyan in the final and celebrated his gold medal after the last gong.
Chinese Taipei’s ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships quarter-finalist Pan Hung Min involved to the national team two and half years ago. He had to miss the boxing tournament of the Asian Games therefore he was highly motivated in the whole FISU University World Boxing Championships. Pan, who moved up to the welterweight (69kg) only this year, eliminated France’s young National Champion Milan Prat and Russia’s Akim Nabiullin during his road to the finals. The 21-year-old boxer found the best attacking moments against Kazakhstan’s Bekbolat Kuramyssov and won Chinese Taipei’s second gold medal in Elista. The Kazakh boxer claimed silver medal in the 2016 FISU University World Boxing Championships and repeated his performance in Elista.
Tajikistan’s No.1 powerful Shabbos Negmatulloev, who trains with his father Abbos, claimed bronze medal in the 2013 AIBA Junior World Boxing Championships and silver in the 2014 ASBC Asian Confederation Youth Boxing Championships. He advanced to the quarter-finals in the Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships therefore he was the main favourite in Elista. The 21-year-old Tajik light heavyweight (81kg) eliminated Lithuania’s Paulius Zujevas, Chinese Taipei’s He Shao Hui and Belarus’ Hleb Sinkevich during his road to the finals where he was also too strong for Russia’s Magomedrasul Suleymanov.
