Kyrgyzstan boxing team leaves World Cup stage in China medal-less

The national boxing team of Kyrgyzstan has finished its run at the World Boxing Cup stage held in Guiyang, China, without securing any medals. The competition, part of the World Boxing series, saw eight Kyrgyz athletes compete under the leadership of Daniyar Tologon uulu.

Several Kyrgyz boxers reached the quarterfinal stage but were unable to advance further. Among them were Anvar Khojiev (up to 50 kg), Munarbek Seitbek uulu (up to 60 kg), Mirzokhid Imamnazarov (up to 65 kg), and Ikhtiyar Nishonov (up to 70 kg). All four lost their respective quarterfinal bouts, ending their medal aspirations at this stage.

Other members of the team faced early exits from the tournament. Nuradin Rustambek uulu (up to 75 kg), Omurbek Bekzhigit uulu (up to 80 kg), Bakyt Toktosun uulu (up to 90 kg), and Myrzakir Koshaliev (over 90 kg) were defeated in their opening matches, eliminating them from medal contention.

This result contrasts with the first stage of the 2026 World Boxing Cup held in Brazil from April 20-26, where Anvar Khojiev secured a bronze medal in the up to 50 kg weight category. The team's performance in China highlights a challenging outing for the Kyrgyz boxers.
