Jayden Price Dethrones Kazakhstan Champion to Reach Asian Final in Tashkent

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan — Bahrain’s teenage phenom Jayden Price produced a performance of "absolute class" to overcome Kazakhstan’s champion in the semi-final of the Asian U15 & U17 Boxing Championships, securing not only a guaranteed silver medal but a coveted spot in the tournament final. Facing the Kazakh champion on Saturday, the 15-year-old Gloucester native rose to the occasion with stunning composure, outboxing his rival in what his team described as a commanding display. The victory marks Price’s third consecutive win against championship-level opposition in Tashkent, having previously dismantled a Mongolian champion and, just days ago, battled past a rugged Tajik titlist in a heated quarter-final. This latest triumph is a testament to Price’s relentless momentum on the international stage. From his gold medal heroics at the Asian U15 Championships in Amman last year to his domination at the USA Boxing National Open, the switch to competing under the Bahrain flag continues to reap historic rewards. As he finally enters the championship round, the multiple-time gold medalist is just one win away from adding yet another Asian title to his rapidly growing collection.
