The pair had vastly different semi-final matches at the 7,000 capacity Sibur Arena.

Uzunian enjoyed a comfortable victory in the men’s’ 91 kilogram heavyweight competition, with the judges awarded him a unanimous verdict against Uzbekistan’s Shokhruz Rakhimov.

Four judges gave Uzunian a 30-27 margin of victory, with the final official scoring the contest 30-26 in the Russian’s favour.

All five judges’ scorecards are being used to determine the winner of each bout as part of the format of the fifth edition of the event.

Uzunian is now due to face Dainier Christian Pero Justiz in the gold medal match after Cuban earned a 5-0 victory over India’s Naman Tanwar.

While Uzunian’s success was clear, home fans were left holding their breath over Margarian’s progression in the 64kg light welterweight competition.

A closely fought bout with Ireland’s Gabriel Dossen ultimately ended in a split decision 3-2 win for the Russian.

After his narrow victory, Margarian will face the challenge of Turkey’s Tugrulhan Erdemir in the gold medal bout.

Erdemir will go into the contest on a high, having earned a convincing 5-0 win over Pavel Mikhailiuk of Belarus in their semi-final encounter.

Kazakhstan remain on course for multiple successes, with Samatali Toltayev and Bek Nurmaganbet reaching finals.

Toltayev triumphed 5-0 against Australia’s Sam Goodman in their 56kg bantamweight semi-final.

The Kazakh fighter is now set to meet the United States' Marc Castro.

The American boxer beat Uzbekistan’s Shunkor Abdurasulov 4-0, with one judge scoring the contest as a draw.

Nurmaganbet reached the 75kg middleweight final, as the Kazakh cruised to a 5-0 win over Germany’s Vezir Agirman.

He will face Scotland’s William Hutchison for the gold medal after he beat Ireland’s Michael Nevin.

The competition, open to male boxers born in 1998 and 1999, is due to conclude tomorrow.
