Turkey women's youth boxing and wrestling

Overview

In early August 2026, Turkey’s under‑19 women’s boxing team and the under‑20 women’s wrestling squad gathered for intensive training camps ahead of major championships. The boxing group, based in Kastamonu, trained alongside ten Azerbaijani boxers under coach Abdurrahman Özben, targeting ten medals at the European Championships in Serbia. The wrestling team, camped in Afyonkarahisar under technical manager Erdem Yiğit, focused on technique, tactics and conditioning before the U‑20 World Championships in Slovakia.

Later that day, fifteen‑year‑old wrestler Rümeysa Keskin from Bingöl secured a bronze medal at the U15 European Wrestling Championships in Samokov, Bulgaria. Her podium finish marked the first European medal for a wrestler from Bingöl. Keskin, training under coach Maviş Bükey, set her sights on the U17 Turkish championship and future European and World titles, illustrating the progression from preparation to competitive success for Turkey’s young female combat athletes.
