Syria’s Ahmad Ghossoun won his debuting contest in the boxing tournament of the Mediterranean Games

The boxing tournament of the Mediterranean Games has begun in Tarragona, Spain where men boxers can attend in nine different weight classes. Syria’s ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships bronze medallist Ahmad Ghossoun is a big talent in our sport who started with a strong success in the opening day of the Mediterranean Games.
The Mediterranean Games is a multisport event which holds every four year generally but the last edition was held in Mersin, Turkey in 2013. Due the busy competition schedule the organizers of the Mediterranean Games decided to host the multisport event in 2018 and not in 2017 as the previous plan.
Syria is taking part in the event with strong team, six of their best boxers are attending in the event in spite of their crisis in the country. The Syrian boxing team worked well in the last edition of the ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships in Tashkent and also in the Islamic Solidarity Games one year ago therefore their goals are high in Tarragona.
Islamic Solidarity Games winner Hussin Al-Masri (52kg), Mohamed Kherim Mousatat (64kg), veteran Abdelmouen Aziz (69kg), their star Ahmad Ghossoun (75kg), powerful Alaaldin Ghossoun (91kg) and two-time ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships bronze medallist Mohamed Moulayes (+91kg) are representing Syria in the boxing tournament of the Mediterranean Games.
Their first boxer who was in action at the Mediterranean Games was ASBC Asian Confederation Boxing Championships bronze medallist 22-year-old Ahmad Ghossoun who moved up to the middleweight (75kg) in the recent months. The super talented boxer was too quick for Slovenia’s experienced Aljaz Venko and his footwork delivered for Ghossoun a clear success in the opening day.
