Asia’s boxing power Mongolia could send four experienced boxers to the upcoming AIBA World Boxing Championships to Hamburg. Their squad contains experienced elite boxers with ASBC Asian Champion and Asian Games winner Dorjnyambuu Otgondalai and three further Rio 2016 Olympians on the board.
Mongolia claimed medals in the 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013 editions of the AIBA World Boxing Championships but last time in Doha their boxers failed to get any podium places therefore the target is at least one medal in Hamburg. The country bagged record number of six Olympic quotas to Rio de Janeiro last year where their hero Dorjnyambuu Otgondalai achieved bronze medal.
ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships silver medallist 23-year-old Gan-Erdene Gankhuyag produced great performance last year with his Olympic quota and enjoyed his participation in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The Mongolian light flyweight (49kg) No.1 is ready to take a medal back from Hamburg to Ulaanbaatar after showing his amazing development in Tashkent.
Mongolia’s No.1, ASBC Asian Confederation Champion and Incheon 2014 Asian Games winner Dorjnyambuu Otgondalai could not win a medal in the Doha 2015 AIBA World Boxing Championships but the lightweight (60kg) boxer took bronze in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Following his title in the Thailand International Invitational Tournament and his bronze in the Tashkent 2017 ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships he is ready to meet with the best boxers of the world.
World Military Games winner Chinzorig Baatarsukh is also among the bests in his weight category and has got realistic chance to beat his top rivals in Hamburg. The Rio 2016 Olympian boxer achieved silver medal at the light welterweight (64kg) in the Tashkent 2017 ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships when he qualified for the Hamburg 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships.
Mongolia’s two-time Olympian Byamba Tuvshinbat is an experienced boxer with more than 300 bouts in his career who achieved bronze medals in the last editions of the ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships in Bangkok and also in Tashkent. The 30-year-old boxer is member of the national team since 2006 and collected plenty of medals in his career from various tournaments but a podium place from an AIBA World Boxing Championships is still missing from his collection.
