“I came to the World Cup for a gold medal, there are no excuses” – boxer Ataev

russian boxer Sharaputdin Ataev said that after reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup, he would not stop there.

On Wednesday in Tashkent, Ataev defeated Odai Al-Hindawi of Jordan by unanimous decision and reached the semifinals of the World Championship in the weight category up to 86 kg, guaranteeing himself at least a bronze medal. On May 12, Ataev will face Mexican Rogelio Romero (second seed) in the semi-finals.

– The judges gave me victory in three rounds, and I’m happy to have reached the semi-finals of the World Championship. I’m not stopping there, because I came for a victory – a gold medal, there are no excuses. We have already met this opponent in Morocco, and today was much easier than the first time. Light managed, but could add speed to get rid of risky moments. The coach advised me to work cleanly and I tried to follow his instructions, ”reports a correspondent, according to Ataev’s words.
