Amman, Sept. 3 (Petra) — Jordan’s national boxing team is stepping
up its final preparations for the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan,
with ambitions of competing strongly and securing medals at the
continental event.

The Games will be held from Sept. 19 to Oct. 4, with the boxing
competitions scheduled for Sept. 21-Oct. 2.

The national team comprises Mohammad Abu Jaja, Hussein Ashish,
Huthaifa Ashish, Ziad Ashish, Mays Abu Khadija and Hanan Nassar,
under coaches Scott Dagoberto and Odai Alhindawi.

The team is currently holding a training camp in Thailand as part of
the final phase of its preparation program, focusing on reaching peak
physical and technical readiness ahead of the competition.

Coach Dagoberto said preparations are progressing according to plan,
adding that the team is aiming for strong performances and medals in
line with the high level of Jordanian boxing in Asia.

He noted that the Asian Games will feature fierce competition, with
some of the world’s leading boxers taking part, particularly from
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, countries with long-standing boxing
traditions and highly developed programs. The level of competition,
he said, requires Jordanian boxers to approach every bout with
maximum focus and readiness.

Dagoberto added that the Thailand camp is providing the team with an
opportunity to intensify training and participate in practice bouts,
helping the boxers gain experience, adapt to different technical
styles, and reach the highest possible level of readiness before the
Games.
