Russian boxer Sergei Sergeev compared the level of opponents at the BRICS Games and the Olympic Games on .
On Saturday, Sergeev won the gold medal at the BRICS Games, which are taking place in Kazan. In the final fight in the weight category up to 75 kg against Dzhavokhir Umataliev, the judges unanimously gave victory to the Russian.
— Satisfied with “four”. A good opponent, young. I’m glad that a lot of fans came, the fight went well in our walls. The responsibility was heavy towards Russia and my native republic. I am grateful to everyone who supported me.
— Is the level of your opponents high?
— Maybe the Olympics are on another level, but I won’t say that the opponents are weak. There is a lot of competition here. There are 60 to 70 percent similarities here with the Olympic Games. There’s just less fighting. Because of the sanctions, some are afraid to come here. But to those who came, thank you for coming and supporting our country,” Sergeev said on .
The BRICS Games in the capital of Tatarstan will end on Sunday. Watch live broadcasts of the competition on Match group channels, as well as on streaming platforms.
