Enkhbatyn Badar-Uugan (Mongolian: Энхбатын Бадар-Ууган; born 3 June 1985, in Ulaanbaatar) is a retired boxer from Mongolia who became the first Olympic boxing champion from his country when he won the gold medal in the Bantamweight (-54 kg) division at the 2008 Summer Olympics.[1] He was the second Mongolian to win an Olympic gold in any sport, with judoka Naidangiin Tüvshinbayar winning the first only a few days earlier.
Career
At the 2006 Asian Games, he got the bronze medal following a lost bout against Korea's Han Soon Chul 19-29-.[2]
At the 2007 World Championships, he won the silver medal after defeating Englishman Joe Murray 20-11 but losing in the finals 14–16, to Russia's Sergey Vodopyanov.
In 2007, he won a gold medal at Asian Senior Boxing Championship, Ulaanbaatar.
Badar-Uugan fought for Mongolia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. American magazine Sports Illustrated picked him as the favorite to win Mongolia's first ever Olympic gold medal.,[3] which, however, was won by Naidangiin Tüvshinbayar, who competed earlier in the games.
