Additional Information

General
FROM PROFESSIONAL TO AMATEUR
He has competed in professional boxing in the super flyweight category and won his first professional title in 2012 when he claimed the vacant World Boxing Council-Asian Boxing Council Continental title. He went on to win multiple other belts at continental and global level, including the World Boxing Organization International title. In 2018, with an undefeated 22-0 professional record, he decided to switch to amateur boxing with the aim of competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, but would not ultimately qualify for the Games. "Previously, it was always the people around me that determined which direction I was going. This decision to turn amateur was made by myself, and for myself. The matches [in amateur boxing] are so condensed and they are not like professional fights. They are much quicker and the rhythm does not allow me to watch and gauge the fight. I need to use my skills and techniques naturally." (scmp, 07 Jan 2023; hk01, 10 Sep 2021; sportsroad, 15 Apr 2019; boxrec男子棍术, 07 Oct 2017)
