The 2025 championships took place from Sept. 4 to 14 in Liverpool, England, drawing more than 500 boxers from 66 countries. Twenty sets of medals were awarded — 10 for men and 10 for women. Kazakhstan entered the tournament with a full squad of 20 athletes.
This year marked the first senior world championships organized by World Boxing, a federation established in 2023 to maintain boxing’s Olympic status after the International Olympic Committee formally derecognized the International Boxing Association in 2024 following a series of scandals. World Boxing formed as an alternative to the association led by Russia’s Umar Kremlev.
