The Asian country's boxers enjoyed a dominant day at the Duma Arena in Hungary's capital city.

Biibars Zhexen triumphed in the bantamweight division with victory over Morocco's Abbaz Abdessamad.

Rakhat Seitzhan then beat Aliaksandr Radzionau of Belarus at lightweight, before Talgat Shaiken ousted American opponent Otha Jones at light welterweight.

Yermakhan Zhakpekov continued the success for the country, defeating Italy's Salvatore Cavallaro in the welterweight category, while Nurbek Oralbay and Sagyndyk Togambay also progressed to the next round in their respective divisions.

Oralbay reached the quarter-finals of the middleweight division following victory over Cuban Edel Acosta Garcia.

Togambay made it six wins from six for Kazakhstan when he beat Karol Itauma of England at light heavyweight.

It was four years ago when Hungary’s super heavyweight Laszlo Komor won a bronze medal at these Championships in Sofia.

But impressive victories by lightweight fighter Adrian Orban and welterweight boxer Tibor Barbosu over Ukraine’s Taras Bondarchuk and India’s Vijaydeep respectively have begun to raise home hopes for another podium finish.

Norway’s twin brothers Nikolai and Sebastian Terteryan earned last eight places with, respectively, a lightweight triumph over Pedro Conceicao of Brazil and a light welterweight win against Daniel Roberts of Australia.

The competition in Budapest continues tomorrow.
