Guruli refused to continue the fight after the second round. These rivals met in the quarterfinals of the World Championship in Tashkent, when the Georgian boxer was stronger.
“I didn’t understand what happened.” My opponent came up to me and told me he was having trouble in the ring. He doesn’t speak Russian very well, I didn’t quite understand what he meant. Then I went to the coach and started to say something to him. It turns out that I avenged my defeat at the World Championships. Besides, I’ve never lost a rematch before. I won thanks to hard work and my team. We’ve come a long way to this victory, we’ve been through a lot of training camps. Now we will prepare for the Friendship Games and the World Championships,” reports correspondent, according to Idigov.
The Russian team participates in the European Championships with national symbols in accordance with the decision of the International Boxing Association (AIBA).
