2024 European Champion Savvin: “I have long wanted to try professional boxing”

2024 European champion, three-time Russian champion Édouard Savvin said he has long wanted to try his hand at professional boxing.

Savvin will make his professional ring debut on December 4 in St. Petersburg in a featherweight bout against Alexander Egorov (20-10-1, KO 10).

— Even before the Russian Championship (beginning of October), I was offered a professional fight. I immediately accepted because I had wanted to try professional boxing for a long time. It’s different, there are more rounds, you have to calculate your strength differently, a different strategy. At the moment, I associate myself more with Olympic boxing. You can see by my technique that I move a lot on my feet in the shuttle. Few professionals are capable of moving like this. Although 10 round fights don’t play out that way. In general, we’ll see. I’m looking forward to my professional debut. I have a 6 round fight ahead of me. We did a good preparation: the training camp in Kazakhstan. I studied my opponent – he is very experienced, he has many fights behind him. We will stick to our plan. I will try to make it interesting for the audience. I will put more emphasis on powerful strikes, because in Olympic boxing I work more on points. And now we will have to invest more in punches,” said Savvin, 24, whose comments to were provided by the press service of the Russian Boxing Federation.

In the main fight of the tournament on December 4 in St. Petersburg, IBA European champion, 2022 Russian champion Pavel Sosulin will enter the ring and fight for the WBA Asia middleweight belt.
