According to the federation, the appointment was made by order of the president of the Kazakhstan Boxing Federation, with Satzhanov assuming responsibility for coaching affairs as vice president.

In his new position, Satzhanov’s main responsibilities will include coordinating the work of coaches and developing training programs.

“I would like to thank all Kazakhstanis for their support, as well as the president and the federation’s staff. Over the past year, we have achieved strong results, finishing first and second in team standings at tournaments. This year also features many important competitions, including the Asian Championships in March, World Cup stages throughout the year, and the Asian Games. I wish our national team every success.
