Lucky visits help 3 Vietnamese boxers not to compete in qualifying including: Nguyen Minh Cuong, Bui Phuoc Tung and Nguyen Manh Cuong. Meanwhile, Nguyen Van Duong will have to encounter Nepal boxer – Lama Buddha Gyamjo to find the place in the second round.
On the boxrec information page, Lama Buddha Gyamjo has no data. This is a mystery that Vietnamese boxers will need to overcome. This match will take place at 14:00 (local time) on September 26. If passing the first round, Van Duong and his teammates competed in the next round in 3 days from September 28-30.
