Armenian and French boxing teams agree to hold joint trainings

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian boxers won three medals at the European Boxing Championship held from June 4 to 11 in Moscow. Specifically, Hrachik Javakhyan (weight class 64kg) became European champion, while Hovhannes Daniyelyan (weight class 48kg) and Arthur Khachatryan won bronze medals. Armenia was represented by 10 boxers at the championship.

Chief Coach of the Armenian team Rafael Mehrabyan considers the Armenian team’s participation to be normal. “Azat Hovhannisyan and Andranik Hakobyan were boxing well during their quarterfinal bouts, but they lost due to biased decisions of judges,” Mehrabyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

The Armenian delegation reached an agreement with the French team on holding joint trainings. Thus, the trainings will be first conducted in Armenia on July 20-27 and then in France.
