The Final Countdown: One day left until the start of the ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships

An exciting moment has come, one day left until the start of the new edition of the ASBC Asian Elite Men’s and Women’s Boxing Championships which has been relocated from New Delhi, India to Dubai, United Arab Emirates with the same regulations and protocols.

All of the National Federations gave in everything to send their boxers to the ASBC Asian Elite Men’s and Women’s Boxing Championships despite of the new lockdowns and restrictions which affect the continent in our present days. The Asian Boxing Confederation had a very limited time to prepare to the competition following the event has been moved from India to the United Arab Emirates.

The Technical Meeting and the Official Draw will be held in the afternoon today after the close of the Sport Entries Check at the Le Meridien Conference Hotel. Some of the teams arrived at night to Dubai in time and the event’s LOC has been preparing a fantastic show for the Opening Ceremony.

The women boxers can compete from the light flyweight (48kg) up to the heavyweight (+81kg) in ten categories in Dubai while the male athletes have the chance to attend also in ten divisions from the light flyweight (49kg) up to the super heavyweight (+91kg).

The new edition of the ASBC Asian Elite Men’s and Women’s Boxing Championships will be the first continental event after one and half year of break due to the spread of Covid-19. The last ASBC event was the Grand Slam Boxing Championships in Xiamen, China on December 2019. The recent ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships was held in Bangkok, Thailand on April 2019.

The Olympic Games is the most important event of the year and the ASBC President Mr. Anas Alotaiba decided to hold the ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships as active preparation before Tokyo. The competition will be held with Covid-19 protocols which were successful in all of the previous tournaments.

Boxers who were born between 1980 and 2002, are eligible to attend in the ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships in the United Arab Emirates where high number of Tokyo Olympians will be attending from several top nations.
