I chose the boxing tactic as number two, so as not to take any risks. He constantly kept his distance. We competed against each other for all 10 rounds, so I couldn’t beat him earlier than expected.
Of course, my coaches and I work to fight against the strongest and most experienced boxers and defeat them sooner than expected. I’m happy with myself. We did a great job, my team coped with all the difficulties during the preparation for the fight.
Now I have one desire: to relax. But I am the type of athlete who, at the first opportunity, I try to accept the challenge and box with a strong opponent. I will rest and then I will build the training process and plan the next fights, ”reports the correspondent, Agrba reports.
