2010 World Champion, winner of the 2015 European Games and double European champion Elena Savelyeva said that the Russian championship to be held in Krasnodar would be the last of his amateur career.
38-year-old Savelyeva reached the final of the Russian championship in the weight category up to 52 kg. In addition, the Russian boxer during her career three times became a winner of the world and European championships. In the professional ring, Savelyeva had eight wins with one loss.
— This is my last Russian championship. I will definitely miss you. I’ve already sworn so much that I’m leaving. After 2010, she told her husband: “That’s it, I won the world championship, I won’t do it again.” But then she continued. Yes, I had breaks. But boxing still brought me back. But I can safely say now that this is with high probability my last championship in Russia. If I am needed as a replacement option for the World or European Championships, this will all be discussed with the coaching staff. All of this will be at the discretion of Albert Shukurovich Mutalibov. Also, as a sparring partner, I probably need to hone it to help the girls. You cannot end abruptly.
But the Russian Championship… Probably the last. I don’t understand the purpose. Unless, of course, something happens, but that’s unlikely. We have lots of girls. I see a good change. And let’s not forget the irreplaceable no rule. But already, perhaps, we can talk about the end of an amateur career, ”said Savelyeva, whose words “” were provided by the press service of the Russian Boxing Federation.
The fights of the Russian women’s championship in Krasnodar are broadcast on channels.
