European boxing champion up to 63.5 kg Gabil Mamedov told that he is ready to compete in professional boxing, but for this he must obtain permission from the head coach of the Russian national team.
Mamedov, 30, competed in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and is a five-time Russian champion.
— Do you intend to become a professional?
– Yes, I am ready to box in the big ring at any time, no matter 8 or 10 rounds. But even if Olympic boxing doesn’t let me go, I give it preference: I feel more comfortable here. If senior coach (of the Russian national team) Viktor Borisovich (Farkhutdinov) gives the green light, then I will box as a professional,” Mamedov told .
