— From the first blow, I managed to hit my opponent. But sometimes I don’t understand the sound of the gong because it is heard in two rings. At first I thought we had 10 seconds left to box, but it turned out I was in the middle of the round and I got a little lost. I had the advantage of being smaller and therefore faster than my opponent. In any case, I will prepare, fight and show that I am the best, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Shumkov’s words.
