The Azerbaijani boxing championship, in which the leaders of the national team did not participate, has already entered the 1/4 final stage.
How interesting is the tournament in the absence of number one boxers in various weight categories, and how do young people show themselves?
With this question, Idman.Biz addressed Vugar Alakbarov, the bronze medalist of the 2000 Olympic Games.
"Despite the absence of many leading boxers, the championship is quite interesting. We see a large number of bright young boxers. It is enough to look at the list of 1/4 finalists in the 60 kg weight category, where more than half of them are still yesterday's youth. Mahammadali Ashuraliyev, Mahammadali Gasimzade, Tagi Nasibov - each of them can seriously compete with the fairly experienced Tayfur Aliyev. There are many talented boxers in other weight categories as well, but I don't want to name them yet so that the children don't get jinxed. I am sure that in the final fights we will discover many new and interesting faces for ourselves," said Vugar Alakbarov.
