What an amazing Olympics for Uzbekistan in boxing — Olympic gold medal super-heavyweight and heavyweight champions this year.
Two gold medals at the two heaviest weights, heavyweight and super-heavyweight, ensure Uzbekistan a place in Olympic sporting history.
Their latest Bakhodir Jalolov beat Spain in the final at 92KG in this year’s Paris Olympics here is the full fight video (hat tip Euro Sport):
Great boxing.
Real promise Uzbekistan is now not just showing on but delivering on at world level in amateur boxing.
The other Gold medal at super-heavyweight came the other day from Uzbekistan’s Lazizbek Mullojonov.
The Olympics may not have boxing in the next games so maybe both will focus on their pro careers.

Every games boxing gets closer to being kicked out of the Olympics for all kinds of reasons and likely boxing won’t be a sport in the 2028 games.
All in all, kudos to Uzbekistan on an unbelievable churn out of quality champions this year.
