The host team of this first Tashkent Grand Slam awaited its first medal with the entry of Sharofiddin BOLTABOEV in the middleweight final, but the gold medal was not awaiting him at the end of the day. BOLTABOEV has shown throughout the day that his victory two weeks ago in Tel Aviv was a sign of great form. You will have to pay close attention to this dynamic technician to find a mistake, but there was one today in the final and it cost him the title, but he has a great potential.
