“The license was difficult for me. At the World Championships in Budapest, I had five fights. I was able to defeat everyone. Then I set myself the goal of becoming the champion of the Youth Olympics. I did not consider any other options and prepared hard. It was not so difficult for me to oppose the Argentine, although his compatriots supported him. It was difficult in the final with a rival from Ukraine. During the battle, he always ran away, it was not easy for me in this situation. I provoked him and wanted to take revenge, because once he won me in a tournament in Azerbaijan. Therefore, in the ring we also had our own scores. But I completed the installation, and now I plan to compete in the national championship among adults. I have room to grow, and now I want to show my abilities at the adult Olympics, ”said the boxer, after final bout.
