DECHEN DORJI DELIVERS A POWERFUL WIN

ADVANCES TO SEMI-FINALS AT ASIAN U19 & U22 CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025 - Thailand

Bhutan’s ring warrior, Dechen Dorji, just threw down a serious statement at the Asian U19 & U22 Boxing Championships 2025 in Bangkok! Fighting in the fierce U22 Men’s 60kg (Lightweight) division, Dechen stepped into the blue corner and came out victorious in a nail-biting battle against Chinese Taipei’s Jun You Lin — winning by a razor-thin split decision today.

This wasn’t any ordinary fight. Jun You Lin, who had earlier secured a strong win over a tough Philippine contender, brought the heat — but Dechen matched every punch with grit, speed, and precision. The judges’ split decision only highlights how tight and intense the bout was, but Bhutan’s champ kept his cool and showed why he’s a rising star in Asian boxing.

With this win, Dechen Dorji punches his ticket straight into the semi-finals, moving one step closer to boxing glory. Among nearly 400 fighters from over 25 nations, Dechen’s fierce performance is a proud highlight for Bhutan’s boxing scene and proves the nation is making waves on the continental stage.

“I gave everything in that ring today — not just for myself, but for Bhutan. This win… it means the world to me. I could feel my country with me in every round. This is for every kid back home dreaming of moments like this. We’re not done — we’ve just begun.”
— Dechen Dorji, moments after today’s victory

The Bhutan Boxing Federation’s strong showing here reflects the country’s serious commitment to the sweet science, and Dechen’s victory today is proof Bhutanese boxing is packing real punch.

Now, eyes are on Dechen as he prepares to face his next opponent — the pressure’s on, but this warrior’s ready to go all out. Bhutan stands behind him, fired up and hopeful for what’s next.

Stay locked in — this fight isn’t over yet!
