At the 31st SEA Games, Cambodia played not bad in Boxing when he won 1 gold medal, 3 bronze medals. Those who bring back the medal for the Cambodian sports delegation in Boxing are Rangsey (bronze medal 57kg male), Hun Kimheang (bronze medal 75kg men), Vy Sreysros (bronze medal 57kg female) and Dararak Ong (HCB 91kg male).
However, as the host country SEA Games 32, Cambodia wants the achievement they achieved must be much greater. That is why this country has sent a series of athletes to compete in domestic and international tournaments over the past time. In addition, Cambodia also conducted a naturalization of a number of athletes originating from Central Asia.
According to ITHETHAO.VN source, the martial artists were naturalized by Cambodia before the 32nd SEA Games, Anvar Nasredinov (original Uzbekistan, weight of 80kg men) and Abdulla Rajapov (Uzbekistan, 92kg male weight). Those are all boxers who have achieved impressive achievements in the continental arena.
At the Asian boxing U22 championship, Abdulla Rajapov reached the final and won the gold medal. Without a serious injury from the previous round, he was fully able to dispute medals fairly with the boxer to win the championship. Rajapov is Cambodia's No. 1 hope for SEA Games 32.
With the preparation of attending the 32nd SEA Games, Rajapov will compete in gold medals with the current champion Jakkapong Yomkhot, boxer from Thailand. Meanwhile, the opponent of Anvar Nasredinov is likely to be Michael Roberrd Muskita, Indonesian boxer.
Interestingly, both Anvar Nasredinov and Abdulla Rajapov still belong to the Uzbekistan boxing team as in mid -2022. But in some way, the naturalization process for these two athletes has taken place silently and quickly. By the end of 2022, they played internationally under Cambodian shirt.
