russian boxer Dmitry Dvali said he was especially happy to reach the quarter-finals of the World Championship on Victory Day.
On May 9, in Tashkent, Dvali defeated Japanese Shogo Tanaka by unanimous decision of the judges and reached the quarterfinals in the weight category up to 54 kg. At this point, Dvali will face Sanjay Seydakmatov of Kyrgyzstan on May 10.
– Congratulations on Victory Day. And on this day, I would like to bring to our country a victory, however small. Yes, it is not comparable to what our great-grandfathers and grandfathers did. But I am happy that on this day I was able to declare our country again. Today I was walking around Tashkent, I saw a lot of people with St. George ribbons. I was delighted. Thanks to Uzbekistan and Tashkent for this,” the correspondent said, citing Dvali.
Dvali also commented on his performance in the 1/8 finals:
– Cosmetically, my fight was messy – I messed around a lot and didn’t do the job I was supposed to. The third round turned out to be good, they told me I won and there was no stain to cut. I watched the Japanese fight in advance and knew he was hitting the liver hard, leaning and swinging hard. In three days I have to do three fights, I recover normally, but it could be better,” Dvali said.
Later on May 9, Tarkhan Idigov (up to 67 kg) and Pavel Sosulin (up to 75 kg) will have their fights in the 1/8 finals. Watch the live broadcast of the Match! Fighter”.
