At the end of 2024, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tran was surprised when winning the gold medal in the Asian Boxing Championship. It is a Vietnamese representative tournament that is somewhat lucky. She fell into a favorable branch, and did not encounter any opponent from the powers on the final journey.
However, everything was different when Ngoc Tran entered the World Women's Boxing Championship 2025. But in the second round, she had to encounter a rather mysterious opponent. It was Aysen Taskin, a Turkish female boxer.
In Türkiye, Aysen Taskin is a fairly famous person. The public knew her as a person who had retired very early and left the stage for many years, but then decided to return. Aysen Taskin took a break in 2017 because of injury, when she was only 20 years old.
In the period of 2017-2021, Aysen Taskin seemed to have retired. She moved to study culture and went to office work. But unexpectedly came, when Aysen Taskin decided to return to training and competition in 2022, and surpassed many younger opponents than himself to recruit the country.
The perseverance and oldness of Aysen Taskin is shown in the match against Ngoc Tran. While Vietnamese boxers played quite “revealed”, there were not many surprises in the movement and attack, Aysen Taskin did that. Turkish boxer won the first two rounds, with the gap of the number of hit between the two sides.
In the third half, Ngoc Tran continuously received a heavy blow against Aysen Taskin and was counted in the first minute. For the rest of the time, the representative of Vietnam could not turn the situation, when the difference between the points between the two sides was too big. Aysen Taskin continued with a score of 5-0 (30-25, 30-26, 30-27, 30-27, 30-27), and Ngoc Tran stopped after the opening match.
