In the final match, Zherbaev defeated fellow countryman Inalbek Sheriyev.
“Today was my day. Thanks to the people who supported me. I had a good training camp and here is the result. Luck was on my side. I won’t say that I had head and shoulders above Maybe my opponent was tired yesterday.
This is my first victory in the Yarygin Memorial Tournament. I have dreamed of it all my life, since childhood. I am now 28 years old, I managed to win. I am very happy. This is the fifth or sixth attempt. Finished third here twice. The reward will be 100% on a separate shelf. All my life I have dreamed of taking the Ivan Yarygin Cup into my hands. He is so handsome and tall.
When will I move up to the Olympic weight class? I can still go there. So far I’m comfortable with this one. Strong guys also fight there – Olympic champions, world champions. It will be very difficult to get there if you go there. But you can change at any time. The weight is no longer small, – the correspondent of transmits the words of Zherbaev.
