Sohail Khan qualifies for 'Kudo Asian Championship 2025'

Sohail has trained under the guidance of coach Dr. Mohammad Ejaz Khan, who has played a key role in shaping his journey since the early days. The trials were conducted under the leadership of Hanshi Mehul Vora, founder of Kudo India and a key figure in the growth of the sport across the country.

Sohail's selection comes just weeks after he created history at the 'Kudo World Cup- 2025' held in Burgas, Bulgaria. He became the first Indian male athlete to reach the senior final in the history of the tournament and returned with a silver medal. He defeated top competitors from Bulgaria and Lithuania, but lost to Quentin Miramont of France by a narrow margin in the third round.

Sohail, a resident of Sagar in Madhya Pradesh, is known across India as the 'Golden Boy of Madhya Pradesh'. He has won 22 consecutive national gold medals, a rare record in Indian Kudo. He is also the Junior World Champion (2017) and a four-time gold medalist at the Akshay Kumar International Kudo Tournament. With the Asian Championships approaching, he is set to represent India once again and top the podium in Tokyo.
