This will be the 25th anniversary Russian Women’s Championship. By the way, Serpukhov already hosted the tournament in 2004. Then Elena Sabitova and Sofia Ochigava, Elena Karpacheva and Yulia Nemtsova, Irina Sinetskaya and Olga Slavinskaya, Natalya Ragozina and Maria Yavorskaya became champions – athletes who stood at the origins of women’s boxing in our country, won major tournaments and glorified Russia in the international arena.
Perhaps the anniversary championship will also become a record in terms of the number of participants: 185 athletes from 50 regions of the country submitted applications for participation in the tournament.
“The Russian Championship will be a qualifying round for the national team – the main and reserve squad – for 2025,” said the head coach of the Russian women’s national team, Albert Mutalibov. — Next year we will have the World Championships in Belgrade, and the winners of the Russian Championships will be the main contenders to represent our country in Serbia. All Russian women’s boxing stars will take part in the Russian Championship. The exceptions are 2012 world champion Alexandra Kuleshova and 2019 world champion Ekaterina Kuts, who is recovering from an injury. It will be very interesting to watch the 2023 world champion Anastasia Demurchyan, who will compete in a new weight category. I think that the decision to change the category is the right one. Let’s see how Anastasia performs. I am looking forward to a very interesting confrontation in the 57, 60, 66 and 75 kg categories, where we have several favorites. In the weight of 57 kg – this is Lyudmila Vorontsova and Daria Abramova, in 60 kg – Nadezhda Golubeva and Nune Asatryan, in 66 kg – Azalia Amineva and Albina Moldazhanova, in 75 kg – Anastasia Shamonova and Elena Gapeshina. I am sure that young athletes who have already completed training camps with the national team and took part in international tournaments should also shine brightly. By the way, the championship will allow us to evaluate not only the work of the boxers, but also the personal trainers, because the athletes were preparing for the Russian Championship locally.
The prize fund of the tournament is 24 million rubles. For first place, athletes will receive 1,500,000, for second – 250,000, for third – 125,000 rubles. All fights of the Russian championship will be shown on the Match.Fighter and Match.Strana TV channels.” The competition will take place at the Nadezhda Sports Palace in the Bolshevik village of the Serpukhov urban district.

On Monday, on a section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Lexus SUV Joshua was in collided with a stationary truck. It was reported that the 36-year-old boxer, who was sitting behind the driver, received minor injuries and was hospitalized.
Promotion company Matchroom Boxing later said two of Joshua’s friends and team members, Sina Gami and Latifah Ayodele, died as a result of the accident.
“Joshua’s condition is stable and he will remain in the hospital under observation,” the organization said in a statement.
However, the media, citing sources close to the fighter, note that Joshua’s injuries were more serious than previously reported. It is assumed that the athlete injured his ribs and knee, and also suffered psychological trauma.
Olympic champion Joshua defeated American blogger Jake Paul in a fight in Miami on December 19. In total, he has 29 victories and four defeats in the professional ring.

Every day at 9 am, Ukrainians commemorate the people who lost their lives in the Russia-Ukraine war. Today Sport.ua recalls that 21-year-old Thai boxing master Vladislav Vakulenko, a very positive person, had great potential in the ring, but with the beginning of a full-scale invasion he decided to defend Ukraine. The fighter died exactly three years ago, on December 30, 2022, while conducting a combat mission near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region.
Vladislav was born in Kiev and has been involved with sports since his childhood. Just six months before his tragic death, he received a diploma from the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine and dreamed of major competitions, medals and training future champions. In parallel with his studies, Vladislav trained in Muay Thai. The man hoped to return to training in the gym after the war.
Vladislav Vakulenko took up arms immediately after the Muscovites’ large-scale occupation of his territory. “We live with war! I understand that we live in a historical time when there are real brave comrades nearby, whose soul and body are eager for war… This is a time when you will remain a hero or die a hero,” he wrote on social networks.
His friends and coach remember Vlad as a man of light. He always smiled, joked, supported others, was a master of inspiration, did not make excuses, did not back down from difficulties. The friend wrote: “You’ve done more at this age than some have done in 50 or 60 years.” And Vlad’s mentor, Stanislav Voiten, recalls: “He did his best in training, gave his life in the fight against the invader. I am proud to have known him.”
