The Azerbaijan national team of young boxers took first place at the world championship held in Budva, Montenegro.
Oku.Az informs that 5 boxers from our national team, led by coach Elbrus Rzayev, have qualified for the semifinals of the World Cup.
Bilalhabashi Nazarov (48 kg), Zidan Khumbatov (51 kg), Mahammadali Gasimzade (60 kg), Ali Abdullayev (63.5 kg) and Aynur Mikayilova (57 kg) won the 1/4 final round. With this, our team won 5 contest prizes.
This result is a new record in the history of Azerbaijani boxing. Our nation has never won so many awards at the world junior championship.
The previous record was set in 2004. 20 years ago, 4 of our boxers reached the semi-finals. At the world championship held in Jeju, South Korea, our boxers won 4 bronze awards.
Aynur Mikayilova will be the first Azerbaijani boxer to win a medal at the World Cup. Until now, none of our athletes have achieved it.
