2024 was the year to witness the young boxer Ngo Ngoc Linh Chi improved very quickly. After “graduating” ages 17-18, Linh Chi stepped up to the Elite age group (19-40). She reached both national finals in 2024, and crowned the National Boxing Championship 2024 thanks to overcoming Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi in the final.
At the Asian Boxing Championship 2024, Linh Chi has a favorable journey. She entered the final, encountered opponent Fozilova Farzona (Uzbekistan). The competition between the two boxers in the 48kg weight class is attractive, with the active game belonging to the representative of Asia.
With the level of a young boxer who has repeatedly crowned at the Asian boxing U22 tournament, as well as reaching the semi -finals of the Asian Championship 2022, Fozilova Farzona proved to be on the body compared to Linh Chi. Although there is no height advantage, Farzona actively moves to find loopholes and attack effectively.
On the side of Linh Chi, the competition took advantage of the height and the range did not operate smoothly in the final. Vietnamese boxers are somewhat embarrassing, as well as revealing weaknesses in turning, defending the attack on the speed of Farzona.
At the end of 3 rounds, Fozilova Farzona surpassed Ganoderma with a score of 4-1. The young Uzbekistan boxer was crowned in the Asian arena for the first time. Meanwhile, Linh Chi had a relatively good tournament, and at the same time heading to the international playground in the future besides defending the national championship.
