Uzbekistan Boxing Federation scheduled its Junior National Championships for the boxers who were born in 2000 and in 2001. The venue of the event was in the city of Andizhan where the boxing life is very busy and has got academy as well. Andizhan has been hosting also the Zolotarev Memorial Tournament in every year.
The national event was held in fourteen weight classes: 44 kg, 46 kg, 48 kg, 50 kg, 52 kg, 54 kg, 57 kg, 60 kg, 63 kg, 66 kg, 70 kg, 75 kg, 80 kg and +80 kg.

The winner of the Pinweight class (46 kg) Khamidullo Sakiyev also was born only in 2001 but he was able to beat Farokhiddin Bazarbayev in the Andizhan event.
Murodjon Kasymov was bronze medallist in the Uzbekistan Junior National Cup in December where he fought at the Pinweight class (46 kg) but since then he moved up to the Flyweight class (50 kg). Kasymov was too strong for 15-year-old Dastanbek Kutlimuratov who trains in the Karakalpakstan region of the Central Asian country.
The host city’s super talented Abdulaziz Abdupattayev proved top performance in Andizhan as he is one of the most experienced athlete in that age group. The 15-year-old Bantamweight class (54 kg) boxer was enough strong to beat Almas Kadyrov who arrived to the venue from the city of Karshi.

In the gold medal bout he defeated Khamdam Soporbayev of Urgench winning the contest by unanimous decision.
