Team China prepares for Astana at the Xinjiang International Boxing Training Center
China will return to the continental events at the ASBC Asian U22 & Youth Boxing Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan. Their boxers prepare for the event in the city of Urumqi at the Xinjiang International Boxing Training Center.
Their boxers were not able to participate in the last ASBC event, at the Asian Youth & Junior Boxing Championships in Astana last October-November due to their national competitions. The management of the Chinese Boxing Federation selected U22 and youth boxers as well to the forthcoming competition.

China claimed four silver and one bronze medal at the recent ASBC Asian U22 Boxing Championships in Bangkok, Thailand on January 2023. Their youth team competed at the Ibraimov Prizes Youth Tournament in Almaty two months ago and their stars will return to Kazakhstan with strong gold medal hopes.
