— Emotions after the end of the fight? I did a lot of work before and during the fight, the tactics were clearly tailored to the opponent, so I had no doubts about my victory. I knew that the golden corner, my corner, would be declared the winner. When they put the world champion belt on me, of course, it was a great joy. I felt proud to have succeeded. It’s an incredible feeling that I’ve only felt a few times in my career.
The money I receive from winning the belt will be spent on my family. I’m going to furnish the apartment, take my loved ones on trips and save some for the future. There are a lot of interesting things for me next. In 2025, I want to focus on my amateur career as the World Championships approach. And becoming an amateur world champion is my main goal.
