“The first to fight was the Match TV Victory Cup, the responsibility was colossal” – Vsevolod Shumkov

Representative of the Leningrad team Vsevolod Shumkov admitted that he felt a huge sense of responsibility due to being the first to enter the ring in the Victory Cup.

On Thursday in St. Petersburg there is a match meeting between the teams “Leningrad” and “Siberia” (boxers from the federal districts of Siberia and the Far East). Shumkov, competing in the weight category up to 60 kg, defeated Aru Gaboyan by unanimous decision of the judges.

– The responsibility was colossal, especially since I was the first to start this tournament. Moreover, for me, it was the first experience of a fight in four rounds, because usually we fight under the format of three rounds of three minutes each.

Ara Gaboyan is a good opponent, he is older. I gained the necessary experience. I think a lot of friends and acquaintances were now watching the show on . I send a big hello to everyone. Thank you for supporting me,” Shumkov told reporters.

The boxing tournament is held within the framework of the XXV St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (June 15-18). Gazprom-Media Holding is the general media partner of SPIEF-2022.
