U19 Asian Boxing Championships: Shivam, Mausam Suhag advance to next round with contrasting victories

Indian boxers Shivam and Mausam Suhag advance in contrasting victories at the U19 Asian Boxing Championships 2025 in Bangkok.

"Shivam dominated all three rounds against Turkmenistan’s Bezirgen Annayev to earn a unanimous verdict. – Boxing Federation of India"

Bangkok, August 3

India's Shivam and Mausam Suhag registered contrasting victories to advance in their respective weight categories at the U19 Asian Boxing Championships 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand on Sunday.

In the men's 55kg category, Shivam dominated all three rounds against Turkmenistan's Bezirgen Annayev to earn a unanimous verdict, as per a press release from the Boxing Federation of India (BFI).

Later in the day, Mausam showed resilience under pressure from Kazakhstan's Nurkabyluly Mukhit in the 65 kg category to carve out a 3:2 win.

The U19 and U22 Asian Boxing Championships provide India's rising stars a platform to showcase their skills and determination against some of Asia's toughest opponents. India has fielded a strong contingent of 40 boxers -- 20 in each age group -- with a perfect mix of proven champions and potential talents who have impressed in the domestic circuit.

However, the Indian contingent could not make it a perfect day in the U19 age group as Shubham suffered a 0:5 loss against Kazakhstan's Tortubek Adilet in the 60kg bout. Three Indian boxers will also be in action in the U22 age group later in the day.

On Saturday, Sagar (men's 55kg) and Harsh (men's 60kg) registered dominant wins to advance to the next round of the U19 Asian Boxing Championships 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand on Saturday.

Sagar was clearly the better boxer in all three rounds against Bhutan's Tashi Yoezer while Harsh played a tactically smart bout to beat China's Jiabao Yuan in yet another mixed day for the Indian contingent.

Mixed results but overall promising! Though I'm concerned about Shubham's loss - our boxers need better preparation against Kazakh opponents. The Boxing Federation should analyze why we struggle specifically against them.

These U19 championships are so important for spotting talent early. Remember how Nikhat Zareen came through these ranks? Hoping to see some future Olympic medalists in this batch! 🤞

As an NRI following Indian sports, I'm impressed by the depth of talent. The 40-member contingent shows boxing is growing beyond cricket in India. More media coverage please!

Hats off to the coaches! The tactical improvement is visible - especially in Harsh's smart bout. But we need more international exposure trips for these kids before big tournaments.

Why isn't this getting more attention? Our young athletes are making the country proud while we're busy with celebrity gossip. At least DD Sports should broadcast these matches live!
