A historic moment for Uzbekistan! At the latest stage of the Boxing World Cup, held in Astana, Navbahor Khamidova etched her name into the record books by becoming the first Uzbek female boxer to win gold at this prestigious tournament.

In a stunning performance, Khamidova defeated Turkey’s Busenaz Sürmeneli — a three-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist — with a dominant 5:0 decision in the final. The victory was especially sweet, as it served as a powerful redemption for Khamidova after two previous losses to the Turkish star.

Uzbekistan wrapped up the tournament with one gold and four bronze medals, showcasing the continued rise of its women’s boxing program on the global stage.
