Kazakhstan’s Anvar Muzaparov is not the best among the host country’s flyweight (52kg) boxers but he did a sensational performance in the third competition day.

India’s AIBA Youth World Champion Sachin Siwach Singh had a lot of tough opponents in his homeland at the light flyweight (49kg) and decided to move up to the flyweight (52kg) in the recent months.

Kazakhstan’s defending AIBA World Champion Kayrat Yeraliyev did not compete too much in 2018 yet but his preparations were successful to the Republic of Kazakhstan President’s Cup.
