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.
