The boxing tournament of the XIX Asian Summer Games has ended in Hangzhou. Turkmen boxer Bairamdurdy Nurmuhammedov was awarded a bronze medal. This is reported by the Internet publication "Turkmenistan: Golden Age".

The semifinal bout in the weight category up to 71 kg between Bayramdurdy Nurmukhammedov and Taiwanese athlete Kang Chia Wei decided the fate of not only medals, the exit to the semifinals, but also the license to participate in the Olympic Games-2024.
