Amman, Sept. 30 (Petra) — Boxer Zeyad Ishaish advanced to the men’s
70kg final at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya on Wednesday after
defeating Japan’s Sewonrets Okazawa in the semifinals.
The victory guarantees Ishaish at least a silver medal and gives
Jordan an opportunity to claim boxing gold when he faces Kazakhstan’s
Torekhan Sabyrkhan in Friday’s final.
Ishaish has won three consecutive bouts on his way to the gold-medal
contest. He began his campaign with a victory over Palestine’s
Mohammad Issa in the round of 16 before defeating Tajikistan’s Saidov
Shamsher in the quarterfinals.
His semifinal win over Okazawa secured Jordan’s second boxing medal
at the Nagoya Games.
Hussein Ishaish claimed bronze in the men’s 80kg category on Tuesday,
giving the national boxing team its first medal of the competition.
